I don't think that's really fair. When Wikipedia had 5000 articles its coverage was mostly made of holes. People are going to write what they know. They are actively addressing coverage of basic encyclopedia topics, with lists similar to ours. Also, they're tending to organise into subject-area working groups (like our wikiprojects) very early on, and new contributors are getting recruited a speciality at a time. So expect a certain fractal lumpiness to the coverage ... much like Wikipedia.
