First, our growth has to level off at some point. Has to, dammit! :-) Maybe we're already maxed out; there's not really any way to know.
I doubt we're anywhere close to maxing out.
I can see 500 million hits per day (15 billion hits per month) by year's end (especially just leading to and around the elections). That would put us squarely in the top 10 on the internet.
Of course, now may be the time to talk to IBM about those mainframe donations.
Is there any further info on that? Has any "official" discussion taken place between wikimedia and IBM/Apple/Sun/Whoever about something like that? I bet some of them would love to pay for something like that for a bit of karma boost
The W has achieved enormous press coverage in the last year and now the completeness level is good enough that for all practical purposes for the average person, we have articles on everything.
Can you name another computer-based project (beside IE's vulnerabilities) that gets as much "good" press coverage as we do?
I suggest the ride is going to get even more fun.
People: Send in your donation, we have to ramp up.
