I always look at the [1] and the top spins for (potential) contributing
base and always when I look there people seem to be downloading LXDE
more than XFCE heck I even mention that to Christoph one time and he was
not sure if he should laugh or cry since he has put more time in
maintaining the XFCE spin than he has with the LXDE one.
Looking at mailing list activities is not a good measurement either
since participation there is highly depended upon discussion on that list.
