It doesn't work in reverse order though - being on one of these lists does usually mean that the developer is more 'hardcore' than others. Zeev(*) Based on the fact php-general@ has 787 subscribers and current estimates at the amount of PHP developers worldwide range between 500,000 to 2,000,000 developers. I actually got the opening number wrong - it's 99.84%, not 98.5%. Sorry.You're probably being glib, but I don't think that being a dedicated, professional PHP developer has much to do with being on any of the lists. Most of the people I know who do serious work in PHP subscribe to none of the lists.php.net lists. It's probably not the best place to catch the pulse of the user-base. If anything, I'd assume that your own pro-services group and consulting partners would have better insight into what people are doing with PHP.
