Wiki has over 100 posts

Finally, a major goal has been reached: over 100 wiki pages on the Austrian Economics Wiki.

It took much longer than I've expected, and could be probably done faster, but I wanted to give it due attention (which is not easy with all the procrastinating). There are still many imperfect pages, which may be improved, one day.

For now though, I need a break from the wiki pages, but will try to propagandize it a little. Go Wiki!

---

Just for the information, here are a few statistics after the 100 goal - and for comparision, in parenthesis also the stats from the 'Economics Wiki', which has been around longer, but is far less focused - on the other hand, it had way more than one contributor:

Total posts: 102 (400)
Size of the database: 619.1 KB (786.8 KB)
Words: 89.4 K (97.7 K)
External links: 551 (305)

Created in 2005, the Economics Wiki has somewhat more content, but it's not all that much considering that it has many more pages (so mine are bigger!). It has also minimally changed over the last few years. There are way more external links in Austrian Economics Wiki. I didn't even compare images, where the other wiki wins, hands down.

But all in all, a year's worth of work by one person comes quite close to five years of erratic work by a few dozen editors. It all can be done, if one wants to!
