Updated MESA Maps
=================

The MESA user maps have been updated to reflect the results of Frank
Timmes `recent
survey <http://sourceforge.net/p/mesa/mailman/message/34392396/>`__.

In the US, the most growth was in Los Angeles, Texas, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania. New states include Idaho, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Global user growth between April 2014 and September 2015 is ~13%, with
most coming from the ~35% growth in the USA market, and most of the rest
coming from China and then Australia.

The estimated error in the number of registered users is ~5%.
