Its true, things are slow on WikiBooks, and I take responsability for
it. Every since I have been down in Mexico (10 months or so) my access
to the Internet has been limited and I have not been keeping an eye on
things like I used to (someone had called me the glue that held WB
together). Well now I have Internet in my house again and can be
online more regularly and hope to be able to help things run more
smoothly.
BTW I was made a steward a while back and supposedly able to make
admins and some other stuff, but how in the world do I do it? Is there
a tutorial somewhere? Right now on the Spanish page I'm not even
allowed to edit protected pages. I thought I was supposed to have some
sort of power that transcends all of the wiki sites. Thank you to
anyone who can help set me straight on that.
Adios amigos,

For some reason, I have the impression that important administrative
things take too long to do in Wikibooks. For example, pages are on vfd
or speedy for months without any resolution. A lot still has to be
transwikied out of en.wikibooks and into their language books, and
there are few who would discuss policy such as a uniform book naming
scheme (much less few who could get to any consensus or make every book
conform to such a standard).
Is there something going on that I should be aware of, or is it that
Wikibooks really is way too undermanned in terms of people in positions
of authority?

I'm glad to announce a new report for Wikibooks, generated periodically by
the Wikistats job.
You'll find here an overview of books, a list of chapters and some stats.
I discovered there are at least 6 naming schemes for chapters. This made it
difficult to automate extraction of chapter names, so in some cases the
grouping of chapters may look a bit odd. I'm sure this will improve when the
ongoing discussion about standardisation of article titles on Wikibooks
bears fruit.
