The project in general; i know of course that Jimmy Weals is the person who has give us Wikipedia and pays for everything. I know that he is the CEO of Bomis (TM). I do not understand how it is possible that he makes any money whit his website www.bomis.com
Bomis is very very popular, and we have advertising revenue.
There is still no "formal wikipedia", no real organisation or legal structure. Is it still the intent that something like that will be done?
Yes.
www.wikipedia.org is still a "American/English" website and not a neutral portal. Is it still the idea to do something about that?
Uh, our official position is to deny that it is non-neutral? And to admit that it could use some tweaks.
I can't imagine that a reporter would ask about that, but if they did, then obviously we'd want to diffuse the question by pointing out that there's links right at the top of that page to all the other active languages.
The English Wikipedia; how many unique visitors a day does it get? How many different people on a typical day are working on the English wikipedia? 50 ? 100? 400?
Maybe someone else will answer this, otherwise I will look it up in the morning. :-)
For the Dutch Wikipedia, we have a Nedstat counter on the main page that gives us some limited information. It only counts page views, not unique visitors and mostly counts the traffic of the Wikipedians i think. Are there other, better logs that i can receive about the traffic to Wikipedia NL?
We could compress and make available an actual log for you, or whatever.
For privacy reasons, i.e. to respect our surfers, we shouldn't distribute the actual access logs willy-nilly, but to a few trusted people (like you) is not a problem.
I suppose the English Wikipedia has give more interviews; any suggestions?
No matter what you say, you will be misquoted. This is my experience. :-) Sometimes this is good, sometimes not.
