Where's the number of people (102)! coming from?

That would be great! Can you do?

We followed this guide: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Languages

In other projects we've done this as a first step. The wikipedia setup
is more complex requiring separately wiki installs per language.
Really, Wikipedia language versions are different projects, that
interlink. This is something we could explore later if we can get more
users I think, and definitely something we should keep in mind.

Jakub almost has metrics done for the main page, which is also very helpful.
