For some time now featured articles have been
promoted at an average
rate exceeding one per-day. The undeniable consequence of this is
that unless the rate of FA promotions drops off most featured articles
will *never* make it to the main page. I see no reason to expect the
promotion rate to fall, an several arguments why we should expect it
to increase.
Do we have a graph indicating no. of FA's over time? Is the rate increasing?
The rate of new FAs increased through 2007, but is about the same per
month in 2008 as in 2007 (or even slightly lower). However that rate is
still about 60 per month, or about twice as many new FAs per month as
featured FAs that month. Featuring two articles per day wouldn't clear
the backlog, but would at least keep it approximately constant. =]
