I was mainly thinking to the number of people on the #haskell IRC channel, the growing number of packages on Hackage, and the growing number of Haskell-related job announcement. It would be interesting to know some other sources: number of people with Haskell-related repos on Github and other hostings, number of Haskell-related blog owners, number of attendees to e.g. Utrecht summer school on FP, ... Probably blog owners see a rise in the amount of visits they receive on their Haskell-related posts, but that would be also because their particular blog just become more well-known from people already interested in Haskell.
