It is clear that Wikipedia grows in size, and this should be reflected
in traffic.  But I find it hard to believe that Slashdot is growing
any much bigger than it already is.  Slashdot feels like a "mature"
phenomenon (even if the contents gets less and less "mature").  The
main difference is that Slashdot is what they produced in the last
week, but Wikipedia is the accumulated sum of all we ever produced.

Slashdot is a river and Wikipedia is a lake.
