1000 projects in less than a year is amazing, congrats everyone who helped catalogue and bring these stories to life!!

Every time I look at the home page today, there's another completed project! Right now we're at 104 for the month, 1032 for the year.

That's great! All my projects that were close enough have been cataloged. I don't think whipping my readers will get another one done!

Theres a full day to go still, we might still get a couple of projects done before everyone heads out to party

My solo is all read, just needs the last 2 sections PL'd, so there's one possibility.

We are currently at 107 for the month, and 1035 for the year - which officially passes up last years total of 1033.

I just added #108.

Well, wherever the server is located, it has flipped to 2019. We have one book cataloged in the new year.

In December, we cataloged 109 projects, bringing the total for 2018 to 1037!

And the other stats:

Total number of projects: 13063
Number of completed projects: 12443
Number of completed non-English projects: 1608
Total number of languages: 96
Number of languages with a completed work: 36
Number of completed solo projects: 6717
Number of readers: 8983
...who have completed something: 8849

Only 91 projects per month would get us there... only

Well, wherever the server is located, it has flipped to 2019. We have one book cataloged in the new year.

I think it is because Annise is in Australia, and she cataloged "Brown Book of the Hitler Terror", and it dated 1/1/19 in our system - well because it is already 2019 where she is.

So if anyone who is still in 2018 catalogs something before midnight, it would be dated 12/31/18.

(This is me assuming it goes by the dates things are cataloged on our end, not some random server. We could cheat and change the dates on a bunch of things to pad the numbers. Just kidding!)

The staff picks server and also the forum flips to a new date my time (GMT +9) at 4 pm. So I think there's still time

The archive servers are in California where it is PST or GMT-8 and still about 6 more hours before midnight.

I'm about to catalogue another, so I'll have to decide whether to adjust the catalogue date

Well done everybody

That record of the 2013 is so close... I mean, 1037 is SO CLOSE to 1084! Difference is less than 5% of the years harvest. Only a few more books a month would do the trick. With all that new PD stuff out there, maybe beating the old record could be our this years goal?

(EDIT: Of course, remembering that quality comes first and all that. )
