[Wikipedia-l] susning.nu reaches 25K articles

[Lars Aronsson]

Today, June 2, 2003, the Swedish wiki website susning.nu reached
25,000 articles (old comma count, or 37,000 pages in all), thereby
passing c2.com in size (their articles are longer, and I think they
expunge bad articles, but they are at 24,300 pages in all), and
becoming the world's 2nd biggest wiki, surpassed only by the English
Wikipedia.

The Swedish language is spoken by 9 million people -- the population
size of Michigan.  Four times more people speak Polish and ten times
more speak German, so we should expect the Wikipedias in these
languages to grow past us sooner or later, not to mention other
languages.

In May 2003, susning.nu had 1.9 million page views from 249 thousand
unique IP addresses.  In this month, 222 different users contributed
to the articles.  (All anonmyous contributions are counted as one
user, named "anonymous".)

Since susning.nu was started in October 2001, the "save" button has
