Wikipedia shows signs of stalling as number of volunteers falls sharply
I'm not surprised. Wikipedia has matured and really does need fewer hands to maintain it. Meanwhile lots of new opportunities have emerged. Some of the new venues have even been launched by Wiki Foundation itself. I bet that many of the people who worked on Wikipedia in its early days were early adopters who are attracted to everything new. Today they have moved on to new pastures -- Twitter etc. Despite this, I suspect there will be enough new people to keep Wikipedia viable. I'm constantly impressed when I read the Wikipedia to find that the latest events in the news are immediately incorporated.
