We get weekly emails from Facebook (possibly just started?). Last week:

Here is this week's summary for the Facebook Page: K Desktop Environment

+36 fans this week (2,006 total fans)
41 Wall posts, comments and likes this week (49 last week)
971 Visits to your Page this week (643 Visits last week)

(I don't know about the 'KDE' page)

heading off in a few minutes)
