The capacity of the server was increased earlier this month to tackle increased traffic. Two milestones this month:

8000 content pages
4000 uploaded files

8 August 2015

Two new milestones this week, after a Summer of steady growth in terms of pagecount, and a smarter coverpage design:

Samuel Bush became the 2000^th person to have an entry on Wikispooks.
The Category:Subjectless Documents category became empty for the first time since it was created in December 2013 - meaning all 1149 Documents on the site now have subjects!

Wikispooks celebrated its 5^th birthday with a significant server upgrade.

Editors who request it may be granted access to the Wikipedia Sandbox server, suitable for development and testing of new software.
Use of SMW has not changed in the last 9 months, so can be considered stable.
Active editorship continues to climb steadily

2014

The SMW extension is now used by almost all pages on the site. This goes beyond just standardising page appearance with a Wikipedia-style 'info box'. The semantic nature means that:

Pages now dynamically build cross-references (so pages display, for example, a list of documents that relate to them, jobs display a list of people who have held that post etc.)
The ExportRDF page allows export of semantic data about pages, for use in other websites or software
