Good point. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box made me even happier, and getting to explain to wikipedians-since-2003 in person that the work they have done is literally equivalent to thousands of years working on traditional academic literature made me happier still.

Hey James,
I'm glad to see that something made you happy this week.
I'd like to note that the whole idea of 'what made me happy this week' is to also have some positive conversations about things that excite us. Which kind of becomes moot when you start the message with complaints of what you don't like (which then takes over the whole message).
I hope you can next time focus on the positive component, and restrain yourself from sharing all the things you don't like - at least from threads that start with "what made me happy this week" :)
Thank you, Lodewijk

Yes, mobile app page views are much closer to 1.5% than 0.0006%, my mistake, I used the WAP row with 116,000 page views in 2015 instead of the 784,000,000 pageviews of the mobile app.
I caught the error after pressing "Send", but I decided that it didn't need to be corrected, given that the Strategic Direction document still says, "in the next 15 years, the languages that will be the most spoken are primarily those that currently lack good content and strong Wikimedia communities," citing a table which predicts the most widely spoken languages in 2050, which in turn cites a report which says nothing about 2050, but does say, "Mandarin is the most spoken language globally."
Mandarin is not the most widely spoken language: https://assets.weforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ 1510B15-languages-most-speakers-english-chinese-chart.png
And it's growing much more slowly than English is: https://revolutioninlearning.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/ 14j3i4hyjvi88-0p0ofe-english-speakers-learners-1.jpg
I would have corrected the error promptly if there was evidence that respect for the truth was more highly regarded.

You have data about app pageviews in several places, the most popular
tool
to see that kind of data has numbers, for example app pageviews for en.wikipedia.
The notion of what is an app pageview fluctuates more than what is a web pageview, but numbers are quite far away from being less than 1%
app&source=pageviews&agent=user&range=latest-20&sites=en.wikipedia.org
Using the tool you linked, I selected "All projects", and then divided the number of mobile app views by the total views to get: around 1.5%. Is that figure accurate for the amount of page views coming from mobile apps?
