Another cause for celebration:
1500th book completed in a language other than English (as per the counter on the Home Page)
Contos de Eça de Queirós

OH, that's fantastic!!

Hold!
On closer inspection, the stats available in the Dashboard (more up-to-date?) show the number of non-English-language works to be 1501.
That would mean that the title goes to:
Ὁμήρου Ὀδύσσεια (Ραψῳδία 3) (Odyssey, book 3)

Anyway, lots of and to both.

Oops - apparently this wasn't updated for February!

During the month of February we cataloged 68 projects (plus 6 already in March), giving us 155 for 2018 so far.

Full stats:
Total number of projects 12221
Number of completed projects 11561
Number of completed non-English projects 1502
Total number of languages 95
Number of languages with a completed work 36
Number of completed solo projects 6311
Number of readers 8514
...who have completed something

hurrah for the onward march toward 12,000 finished projects!

I just noticed something odd and perplexing about the catalog when browsing by language category.

under English, it says "Completed: 23367 books | In progress: 450 books"

if the total completed projects is only 11.5 thousand.... where is this 23 thousand coming from? anyone have any idea?

There's a glitch with the counts and displays of things in collections that makes the non English counts incorrect - it's on the wish list. If there is 1 say German bit in a 20 piece multilingual project , the 20 are displayed and counted

Wow, 59 new people submitted a section during March. That's great!

Looks like the April Challenge stimulated our monthly output. In April there was a total of 94 projects released, if the statistics in the home page are to be believed.

Checking behind the scenes, I see that during the month of April, we did in fact cataloge 94 projects (plus 6 already in May), giving us 331 for 2018 so far.

Total number of projects 12390
Number of completed projects 11737
Number of completed non-English projects 1512
Total number of languages 95
Number of languages with a completed work 36
Number of completed solo projects 6392
Number of readers 8630
...who have completed something 8471

That's exciting! With that speed, there will be no problem at all to complete the 12.000 by our 12th anniversary!

Hey! When did we get the "...who have completed something" number back? Very nice!!

So apparently that first number is people in the Reader database, either with or without assigned sections. The second is people that have a PL OK, I assume. At least, that's how I read it. It used to be that type of thing before the redesign, but we never got that second number since then. Thank you, Easter Bunny (since it seems to have occurred sometime in April)!
