Hi again,

I am sorry to inform you that my previous comparison of number of
edits CZ-WP was wrong (and perhaps a bit too optimistic). I got a
wrong wikipedia dump files to analyse.
Here go recalculated numbers of edits  in the mainspace for some wikis
(as of March 2007)
lv.wikipedia 8426 (Latvian, about 9K articles)
la.wikipedia 17480 (Latin, about 12.5K articles)
lt.wikipedia 57110 (Lithuanian, about 43K articles)
hu.wikipedia 85837 (Hungarian, about 56K articles)
pl.wikipedia 304279 (4th biggest, about 350K articles)

More complete and hopefully more reliable info to be posted (maybe by
the end of April?).
Caveats:
Well, it is not a big deal to guess that one have to be patient to see
any comparability with biggest wikipedias in terms of quantity.
Anyway, the "snowball effect" for CZ hardly began. It would be
interesting to demonstrate its development over the time. What is the
proper timescale then? For example, the number of edits as of March
2004 for pl.wiki --started 2001 -- amounts to about 26000. March 2003
gets  9500 edits, i.e. less than expected in this month on CZ.
One should also keep in mind that there are many not so creative
edits, e.g. by bots or vandals, counted for WP.

So, sometimes less means better, sometimes less means more...
If CZ was always smaller and of better quality, for me it would be a success.

Alex.
