All items are factual, and accurate for the dates they were posted.
Which is more "interesting" is an exercise in punditry:

 * 11000+ members have signed up on the www.zope.org website.

 * 1617 people subscribe to the zope@zope.org mailing list, which seems
   to average 70+ messages per day (2000+ per month).

 * 409 subscribe to zope-dev@zope.org, which runs around 20 messages
   per day / 600 per month.

 * The zope.org websites have been averaging 200,000 unique visits
   per month.
