To me, the data is really encouraging. Take a look at the charts for New Wikipedians vs. Active Wikipedians. We knew before that both of those peaked in early 2007. But now it seems that the decline has more or less stabilized, and the decline in active Wikipedians was less severe than new Wikipedians. Edits per month, and maybe new articles per month, look to be stabilizing as well.
Yes, we've stopped having exponential growth, but have settled comfortably into more-or-less linear growth.
