Hoi,
With the strategic plan it is clear and obvious that the WMF intends to
expand. It is clear that India and Brazil get serious attention. With the
creation of the "localisation team" there is now substantial attention for

Hi;
Oldids are not sorted by date, so, the first edits may have big oldids.
Which Wikipedias do you want to explore? You can use the dumps or Toolserver

May someone ask Internet Archive to open histories of the Main Pages
of Wikipedias in their Time Machine? If they harvested it at all.
Their Time Machine is usually the only exact way to find when early
Wikipedias were created, but histories of the pages are blocked
because of our robots.txt.
