      Ajay,

      I don't know what kind of relationship you draw from list traffic to serious adoption. In any case, do some research and you will certainly re-evaluate your metrics. :)

      Just as a starting point, last week we had the Drools Bootcamp in SF (http://blog.athico.com/2009/03/drools-boot-camp-san-francisco-june.html), and that is one of the reasons for the reduced traffic in the last couple weeks I guess. Take a look at the attendance list and the companies they come from:

      Sightings page:

      Anyway, what I can tell you is that Drools is in really active and constant development, with a growing and energizing community that supports its members in the best possible open source way (thank you all people). On top of that, if you want professional support with SLAs, talk to Red Hat that offers all kind of services around the product (from support to training).

      Cheers,
        Edson

Are people actually using Drools Or Drools Flow in production?

The traffic on this list seems way too low to suggest any serious industry consideration.

OTOH, there are books out there for Drools. Which does suggest serious usage.

What am I missing?
