[Textbook-l] Re: General News about Wikibooks

This is more FYI if you havn't been frequenting Wikibooks for awhile *** 10,000 Wikibooks modules for EN *** The English Wikibooks has now passed over 10,000 book modules... which also puts it in the top 50 wikis on the web (according to [[w:List of largest wikis]]). Far from a failure, Wikibooks is starting to pick up some popularity and has a fairly healthy user population, including vandals and other malcontents. More publicity should happen about passing this key milestone, but for now this is about all the publicity that has happened so far. Which brings up the next item of news: ** Wikibooks has a new bureaucrat ** User:Aya has volunteered for and been granted bureaucrat status. What this means for Wikibooks is that more administrators are going to be created, with the latest being Geocachernemesis. You can debate if she will be good at this, but then again that should have been done on the Request for Admin Status page. The previous bureaucrats have been on haitus or away from Wikibooks on other projects, and it appears that Aya is more dedicated to just Wikibooks specifically. Wikibooks is growing, and the ever present need to police what is happening on Wikibooks is also growing. Thanks to all of the administrators who have been working hard in the past to help clean up things like the Ass Pus attacks and in general cleaning up everything on Wikibooks.
