[Foundation-l] Page views

[Joan Goma]

What worries me is that in Catalan Wikipedia we were expecting to beat the
page views record this month with around from 18MM to 19 MM. We have a press
release ready to be launched as soon as the final results of the month are
known.



But if the data is not reliable we don’t dare to spread that press note even
if we are sure we have beaten the record.
