[GRLUG] wiki probs

[Michael Mol]

When Rosetta Code was slashdotted on the 21st, it wasn't until Friday
of that week when I got less than 1000 referrals a day.  Links linger
in various Slashboxes and category feeds.  Add to that "me too!"
aggregator sites like popurls.com, and it'll take about a week before
traffic dies down.  RC got twenty-eight thousand visits as a result of
the Slashdotting, and only seventeen thousand were on the first day.
