Speaking of milestones, aren't we getting pretty close to one million articles covering all languages? A nice handy round number probably worthy of some fanfare. Are we planning a press release or other special efforts to publicize it, either externally or internally? Sometime in September looks like the target date, given our statistical direction.
We already have a 500,000 article milestone press release on meta at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%27s_first_press_release
All we need to do is update the numbers and contacts. But I'm sure other improvements will be made as well.
I coordinated that press release - anybody want to corrdinate the new one? If not, then I'll do it.
Oh, and there was a major drift in the article number count. I'm not sure if that bug has been fixed yet. Hm - I just checked and the number on the Main Page is now fairly close to the number on the WikiStats page. But then, they could both be wrong....
