According to Alexa we now get as much traffic as Slashdot.
Indeed! Does anybody know how many "postings" per month Slashdot receives? The English Wikipedia had 125K "edits" in August 2003, coming from more than 2K different users.
My hypothesis is that trends in postings/edits/writes are predictors for trends in page views/visitors/reads. But I only have numbers for Wikipedia and a few wikis, not for other projects such as Slashdot.
Right now, susning.nu and the German Wikipedia are equal in size (each having 30K articles), but the German Wikipedia has twice the amount of edits per month (35K vs 18K). This either results in more articles or better articles, either of which should be a driver of future readership.
