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?

Thanks for leading this!
