How much has Lingua Franca Nova grown in the last six months?

On the requests for new languages at Wikipedia are the stats for the Lingua Franca Nova wiki as of December 24 2007. Since it's pretty much six months (180 days to be exact) since then we can get a good idea of the wiki's yearly growth by comparing the two. Let's see what we've got:

• Total pages: was 3,930 / now 4,411. 481 new pages, 2.67 new pages per day.
• "Good" pages (pages that have legitimate content, so no redirects for example): was 1,220 / now 1,308. 88 new pages, 0.49 pages per day.
• Page views: was 1,210,195 / now 2,208,432. 998,237 hits over the six months, total 5546 page views per day.
• Edits: was 13,237 / now 18,906. Total 5669 edits over the six months, 31.5 edits per day.
• Users: was 290, now 299. Nine new users.
• Administrators: was 5, now 6.

I wrote back in December that LFN has about the same numbers as Bavarian or Pashto. Now it's more about the equivalent of Manx.

However! These Wikipedias have bots going around adding and removing links; LFN doesn't have that. So I would be so bold as to say that LFN is actually larger than Manx.

Aprende LFN!


Also, here's a recently created page on the wiki by George Boeree. Recently one of the most prolific contributors to the wiki has been Myalee, an Iraqi doctor.

La prinse a la caxon de Blancaneva – Alexander Zick, 1886

Blancaneva es un narada de fes antica e poplal. La narada fundal vade como esta:

Multe anios pasada, un rea ia nase un bebe fia ci ave pel blanca como neva, labios roja como sangue, e capeles negra como ebon. Los clama el prinsesa Blancaneva. Ma, pos la bebe ia nase, la rea mori.

Pronto pos, la re ia sposi de nova. La sposa es multe bela, ma ance multe vana. El ave un miror majial ce responde a demandas. La rea demanda multe veses "Miror, miror, a la mur, ci es la plu bela en la pais?" E la miror responde sempre "Tu, me rea, es la plu bela!" Ma, cuando Blancaneva maturi, la miror dise a la rea "Rea, tu es multe bela, ma Blancaneva es plu bela ce tu."

La rea ia deveni jelos e comanda un xasor ce el prende Blancaneva a la bosce per mata el. La xasor ia obe la rea, ma cuando el ia es a punto de mata Blancaneva, el no pote. En loca, el relasa Blancaneva.

En la foresta, Blancaneva descovre un caseta peti de sete nanas. La nanas compati el e permete el vive con los. Los avisa el: no permete stranjeres entra la casa.

Durante, la rea ia demanda de la miror ancora "Ce es la plu bela," e la miror responde ancora "Blancaneva." La rea ia masca se, e atenta mata Blancaneva duveses, ma la nanas resusita el. La ves tre, la rea masca se como la sposa de un cultivor, e dona un mala venenos a Blancaneva. El morde la mala e cade a la solo en un coma profonda. Cuando la nanas reveni, los no pote resusita el. Los crede ce el ja mori, donce los pone el en un caxon funeral de vitro.

Pos multe anios, un prinse ia viaja tra la foresta e vide Blancaneva en se caxon. El es encantada par se belia e comensa ama el. El demanda la caxon de la nanas e el e se servintes porta la caxon e prosede a la castel. La servintes malpasa e la peso de mala cade de la boca de Blancaneva - e el velia!

La prinse dise a Blancaneva ce el ama el, e los sposi. La rea mal veni a la rituo de sposi e mori de la xoca de vide Blancaneva vivente. La prinse e Blancaneva vive sempre felis.

Scolores crede ce Blancaneva es un de multe naradas ce segue la viaja de la eroe (Blancaneva) de felisia tra malia e retro a felisia. Un sinifia plu simple es ce la narada es un leson supra la periles de vania.
