helpful.
I think I'm probably good, but thank you.
Perhaps you could show your work at the next Research
and Data showcase? I
for one would be interested in seeing a presentation.
That's in 3 weeks; I'm not convinced that a piece of substantive,
useful research about global reach could be done in that time period
even if I could drop everything I currently have (which I can't). This
problem is too big and too important to be scheduled around meetings;
things should work the other way around.
Scott Hale and I have been working on a paper looking at global reach
and how it tracks with internet access growth, in the context of
editing, particularly looking at the mobile web. That, we should be
done with by then; presenting it could be highly useful (Scott? ;p)

This is an Encyclopedia
One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many
hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how
much we do not know.

That is the question, and I agree with your conclusion. I'm hoping to
do more research into this; getting buyin internally has been tough,
but I'm confident of making progress on that front over the next few
weeks and months.

yay, shiny! The map is a pretty compelling way to
show how dominant
traffic from the US is, even for very minor languages (say
bi.wikipedia.org), I wonder how many requests from US-based bots/automata
we’re still failing to detect.
Still, the question could be: are we fulfilling the mission?
(hint: probably not)
