What question are we asking? :-)

I *think* we're asking 'how many users of GNOME are there', not 'how
many discovered gnome-about in their panel and then decided to fill
out a form for an organization they know nothing about'.

That is so true.  However I believe there is no harm in pursuing both
options right now.  Imperfect numbers (that catch a
less-than-100-percent proportion of GNOME users) have the redeeming
feature of establishing a lower bound on the count, which is better than
nothing.

Whose toes would we be stepping on if we pushed this "Friends of GNOME"
thing?  I can not see any objection to it other than it is not ideal for
counting GNOME users.  So, if I can help in any way (I have (X)HTML/CSS
skills and (ver) modest shell/perl/C/C++/java skills) please let me
know.
