Erik Zachte ran another analysis on the numbers and concluded that the
number of new editors on the English Wikipedia is *growing*, and that
the number of editors who edit regularly is basically holding steady.
It still looks like we hit a peak of new editor growth in late '06,
but the ongoing loss of editors is not as pronounced as previously
reported.
