English -> English dump
Because myself and others have been frustrated by
the lack of good
stats on the number of active editors on the English Wikipedia, I have
compiled some stats on the editing frequency on enwiki:
No worries: in only 176 days from now the English dump will be ready and I
can run wikistats scripts on it.
It just started 52 days ago, so let us be patient for a while ;)
Is there any reason at all to believe that it is more likely to finish
this time than all the previous attempts during the last two years?
I have virtually zero faith in a script that takes 230 days and where
any error wipes out all progress.
