mandombe.info claims that 540,000 people have learned Mandombe. I doubt
whether any of us can prove or disprove that.

Ewellic has one user (the inventor), plus two people who have ever
written to the inventor in it, plus one more who has promised to, some
day. That's not a user base. (Having said that, I can and do write
shopping and to-do lists in it, hastily.)

Omniglot is full of scripts that look like Mandombe, created by high
school students "one particularly boring day."
