Stats
Since Phase 2 of the pilot project launched on October 29, 110 editors have activated usernames on the pilot project wiki, and 151 editors have been invited. Most of these people possess doctorates, although not all of them do; if they had the terminal degree in their field (such as JD or MLIS) plus a certain amount of experience and publications, then they were invited.
In addition, approximately 90 author applicants have been invited; around 70 constable applicants were asked to be authors (we have filled our quota of constables, namely five for now); and about 60 highly-qualified people, who might become “specialist editors” if we opt to include such a category, were asked to be authors. We are waiting for more information, or for endorsement of the Statement of Fundamental Policies, from approximately 90 people.
In all, there are 263 usernames on the wiki with read/write access. If you are thinking there are still quite a few invitees who haven’t created usernames, or who haven’t had their usernames activated, you’d be right!
(Actually getting all these people into the system is what I’ve spent much of the last 3-4 days doing–that’s why I haven’t been seen much anywhere else.)
There are 183 articles tagged “CZ Live,” i.e., someone is or intends to be working on them.
I’d estimate we had about 300 edits yesterday. Nothing compared to Wikipedia, but then, as I can tell you since I was there, it’s a heck of a lot more than Wikipedia had after its first ten days.
