Hoi,
- Many of the Wikipedias do not show any growth - other Wikipedias are young and they do not get the kind of attention like en.wp did - they do not have a Jimbo to evangelise their project. - often the language technology does not really support their language - a lack of localisation hampers acceptance - how to get past the bus factor while the project is still small - other Wikipedias are much bigger and may be plotted on such a graph however, there are so many things different that is makes little sense if you do not study why projects behave like they do.
Thanks, GerardM

For me while interesting, it is hardly new and therefore not that interesting what people like Ed H Chi write about Wikipedia. They do not write about Wikipedia, they write about the English language Wikipedia. Invariably news written about Wikipedia concentrates on just one of over
260
projects. It diminishes what Wikipedia is about and it ignores important things that are happening.
Yes, completely. Do other Wikipedias show the same S-curve of growth? Large ones, small ones? *That* is interesting. Let's see if we can encourage PARC along these lines. Or indeed competing researchers.
