For sure this number is not related to the regular Enigma users. A beta 
release that only got announced on the developers maillist and a period 
of 10 days is geared to a few test users.

The number of score files is just 9 - but neither Andreas nor Daniel did 
sent theirs. On the other hand we had over 3000 downloads of beta within 
24 hours. Without a mailing to the announce list this was very suprising 
 to me. For reliable numbers we have to wait one or two months. The 
final release and Christmas time will generate a lot more regulary users.

But even the current small number of scores gives a first interesting 
impression and will make many users keen on sending in their scores.
