If you take a good project/library/service, on their homepage
(not wiki) there's
always a list of production projects (that means: "it's not
currently in development but it's public and completed") that use
it.
For example, mongodb. On its homepage there's a list of
production users and a link named "more productions users" that
point here:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments
Check rails: http://rubyonrails.org/ it has "who is already on
rails?" in homepage
Another one? http://hadoop.apache.org/ in homepage: "Who Uses
Hadoop?"
Also amazon aws on its homepage has this section.
If I visit dlang.org i think: "Ok, nice language but it works in
real world for real projects or it's just a toy language?"
My company uses D for a "natural language parser" i've written
for our internal search engine (our users search - in italian -
"restaurants in the province of Venice opened on Valentine's day"
and my parser translates that phrase in a query)

What do you mean by production?
Open source project? Freeware applications?
Does commercial projects counts?
I would have expected "in production" to _only_ mean
commercial projects.

I wouldn't. But that is probably a definition thing. If I'd
written say Wikipedia in it, that would qualify as production
use, too.
