As promised, I’ve been tracking the numbers from the ongoing Open Government discussions on a daily basis (follow the thread on GovLoop for details). We’re now almost three weeks into this initiative. Here’s a chart that shows how the numbers have developed since February 9 (a few days after launch):

Growth is pretty linear, nothing too surprising happening (yet). At the very least, it seems that some agencies are slowly making progress with their outreach efforts.
The total numbers include active and inactive agencies alike. For comparison, here’s the same chart for NASA, the agency with the most overall activity (by our measurements):

It’s a bit hard to see but the last two days have seen a significant increase in registered users and votes.
There are more than three weeks left. Plenty of time to double or triple these figures.
