how many users are registered for using the firefox sync server?

I'm working on a german wikipedia article about "Firefox Sync" and I need more information about the current usage and the historical development of this feature - number of registered users for the Sync Server at Mozilla - would be nice to have numbers for 2011, 2012, and current usage. 

If possible, it would be also useful to know how many german speaking users are using the sync service.

Where are your Sync Servers located (US, Europe, Asia)? What kind of systems and platforms are supported?

Is there a current documentation about the importance of the Firefox Sync Service, that I may reference?

That is all private information we can't share (or even have access to) Sorry about that.

here is the project page for the new sync service that will be introduced in the near future: https://wiki.mozilla.org/User_Services/Sync

regarding the numbers, i've reached out to the sync team - maybe someone can provide rough estimates about them...

thanks for your fast reply, your URL to the page with the ideas of the new PiCL service shows in the remark about the usability of the "Firefox Sync" some hints about the usage of the current sync service "only 1% of our users have actually done so" - so I will use that as reference. But it would be nicer to have some public message - for example: a mozilla blog entry - from the mozilla services group about the number of registered Sync Server User - and also about performance and reliabilty. But if that is private information only, you can close this problem.
