Greg, now that we're halfway through this drive and 1 month from its end date, I have a few questions: * Given that we're at 5.5% completion, how about reaching out to the Wikipedia Signpost, the mwusers.com fora, and the mediawiki-l list to ask for more participation? * Is this an effort that you think a smart layperson could help with, even if s/he hasn't worked with MediaWiki before? * In your experience, about how long does it take to review and update a single extension page?
