A few weeks ago, I posted a link to an article Lorelle put together showcasing the various stats surrounding WordPress and its community. Joost de Valk has taken those stats as well as some others that his team discovered and generated an infographic that visually represents the data. One of the stats that I find impressive is the fact that Freelancer.com reported that 100,000 WordPress developers across the world are listed on the service with reports of over 3.6 million dollars of WordPress projects completed.
What’s even more impressive is that WordPress has yet to reach a saturation point. There are still plenty of people out there that some day could potentially become WordPress users. So while the numbers we see today are huge, I imagine they’ll be even bigger in the next 2-3 years.

Joost De Valk who hosts the PressThis podcast recently conducted an interview with Mark Jaquith to discuss the future of WordPress. Mark is one of the core committers to the project so he would obviously know a thing or two with regards to the future direction of the software. During the interview, we get to find out what’s on tap for WordPress 2.9, some discussion around post types, taxonomies, using WordPress as a CMS, roles and capability simplification, and much more. If you’re interested in the future development of WordPress, definitely download this episode and give it a listen.
You can listen to Joost De Valk live on WebmasterRadio.FM on Tuesdays at 5PM EST. Three hours before the life recording of WordPress Weekly.
