Yesterday participation really shot up, and today has increased even more. There were 307 edits today (i.e., Wednesday, though I write this after midnight!). Some 57 articles are “live,” meaning that we have worked on them or started them from scratch. I estimate a half-dozen of these are brand new articles, but I just don’t know–could be two or three times that. Presently there are 131 people registered as having read/write access to the wiki. About half of these, I would estimate, are editors. There are also a few dozen people who have registered usernames, but whose usernames haven’t been activated (hint, they need to tell us to activate their usernames; we’ll get around to it, though, even if they don’t tell us). And there are still over 200 applications–no exaggeration–waiting for the “personnel administrators” (there are five of us doing this now) to “let them in.” And we’re still receiving, I would say, at least 10-20 new applications per day.
