The main page recently announced that we broke the 23,000 article mark.  This is in spite of the fact that, in the few weeks since we've switched to the new [[wikipedia:PHP script|PHP/MySQL-based software]], the website has been running annoyingly slowly.  This is a problem our team of programmers has been working on; join [[Wikipedia-L]] (or see the archives) for details.  Hopefully, this problem will be solved soon, but we can't make any guarantees yet.  Thanks very much to the volunteers.  :-)
