The daily activity can be followed on http://runeberg.org/rc.pike and I intend to make a summary like this one after each month.
A total of 2556 pages were edited in May, some as many as 6 times. These pages belonged to 102 different works. Here, "Nordisk familjebok" counts as 58 different works, one for each volume. The "work" column below is part of the URL, e.g. http://runeberg.org/wiedgust/ Those of us who contribute actively have come to learn these short codes. :-) The most edited works during May were:

Most volumes of Nordisk familjebok has had 5 or 6 pages proofread, but no systematic effort can be seen yet, except for volume 1.

This winter we had problems that the scripts didn't always respond. I think all these problems are gone, and we got a reliable and stable system running. It can now be time to develop the function further. Currently the script doesn't set any web browser cookie, which causes the system to forget your e-mail address everytime you leave the proofreading function. I think we should start to offer a (cookie-based) user registration procedure similar to what other websites use. Your ideas and input is welcome.
