704:— We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated.

Diannaa, Just a heads up to let you know that I will away for work from tomorrow until next Monday Sept. 6. I will not be taking my laptop with me on this particular trip so I will not be able to get online at all. I will do an update of the graphs on Thursday/Friday, and then again
