Peter Blaise suggests: Don't forget wiki CUSTOMERS! I use the "watch" subscription to follow the development of wiki articles and discussions. Others may be avid consumers in their own rite. I do not expect all wiki participants to be contributors. Let's not forget the customer! We may be occasional and infrequent editors, but that's because we are primarily consumers of our own wikis! The most important statistic, consumer wise, and for measuring the penultimate success of any wiki, may be: visits/reads, page prints, watchlists, and even external things like what-links-here, google/other search listings, and even references in print. -- Peter Blaise 151.207.240.4 10:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
