Hi.
If anyone is bored, a visualization of new users on mediawiki.org might be interesting. There's been a spike lately due to the coding challenge CentralNotice banners. The data as of a few minutes ago is linked below. More dynamic data is available if there's interest.

A few more stats:
* We have about 500 contest sign-ups so far; * We have about 80 distinct countries so far; * About half a dozen people have added links to valid code repositories or actual code already.
The real proof, of course, will be in how many people manage to develop something meaningful by November 7. But so far the level of interest and participation is certainly nice to see :)
