Last time I checked, our growth rate had us hitting the half million mark sometime late this month or early next. Not so anymore due to apparent increases in our rate of increase. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_statistics#pl-zh we have added ~40,000 articles in the last month. Since we apparently had 460,000 articles as of Feb 1 we should hit 500,000 in two weeks if we keep up the same rate of growth (or stat drift - could somebody check to make sure that is not the case?). So everybody who was involved in creating their language version of http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia's_first_press_release should update their version so that we can have a coordinated distribution. Again, the non-English versions should be distributed a week before the English one to smooth out the load if needed. Hopefully we will already have migrated to the new server farm by then. We already had to delay a project-wide press release a few times due to server issues. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
