Since this topic has been brought up, I'd like to make mention that the other sister projects aren't doing too bad either

Wikibooks:

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&compare_sites=&y=t&q=&url=wikibooks.org

happens to be in the top 6,000 websites, and is one of the leading e-text websites that has independent measure on Alexa.  Gutenberg.org is the only one that ranks higher at the moment that I can tell from, and that is a close call.  Wikibooks simply blows out of the water almost all other e-text websites of any kind, for profit or not.

Wikinews has very similar stats, Wiktionary is actually outperforming Wikibooks currently, and Wikiquote is almost dead even with Wikibooks.

BTW, you can look at Wikispecies for your own enjoyment.

All of them have shown recent growth as well, and not all of this growth can be directly attributed to spin-off from Wikipedia.

Wikimedia.org is in the top 1000 at the moment by itself, although it would be hard pressed to see what the traffic is between Meta and Commons as Alexa lumps them together for traffic ratings.
