Today it passed 165,000 entries. That's over 800 entries a month,
which is a bit faster than the previous year.

While quite a lot of the entries are coming from rather old terms
(大辞泉 and 日本国語大辞典 are being used a lot), there are still a
lot of quite common words and expressions turning up.

I hope the input rate doesn't rise more. It really takes time to check
and approve/modify entries. The backlog went over 200 yesterday, and
it's currently around 100.

Thanks to everyone.

Jim
