Is Wikiquote worth working on? I work on Wikipedia articles because I know that they are incredibly popular and will be read by hundreds of thousands in the long run, but Wikiquote has always been a backwater. (And it’s not like quotes need much updating.)
Some not especially prominent Wikipedia articles are within a factor or order of magnitude with Wikiquote’s most popular article. That’s really really sad. (And if you ever search for quotes, you will rarely see Wikiquote come up, too.)

Look at their statistics: http://wikistics.falsikon.de/latest/wikiquote/en/
Their most popular article is 1,994 hits a day. I can get that many hits in a month with an article on an anime: http://stats.grok.se/en/201011/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_%28TV%29 Or I can get 1k hits a day sometimes with a relatively obscure programming language: http://stats.grok.se/en/201011/Haskell%20%28programming%20language%29
