Welcome to the first edition of the Wikimedia Quarto, the newsletter of the Wikimedia Foundation. This newsletter grew out of a desire for a place to gather reports from across the community, letters to the community from Jimbo and the Board, and original content such as interviews with people at the forefront of open content networks, digital librarianship, and copyright law (don't miss our interview with [ESR] on [the future of] [distributed research] on page 4). There are great things happening in the near future, and this month is no exception — a major press release following Wikipedia's one millionth article, the first one coordinated closely across various languages; a celebration of Wikipedia at a madcap Cyberarts Festival in Linz; and a presentation before the United Nations. We pushed hard to finish this edition before our September press release. Partly as a result, it is a collection of quick summaries: a recap of the year's events to date, with projections for the near future; notes from Jimbo, from chapters, from projects, and from and to the press; and reports from the Board, with statistics to amaze friends and wikiphobes alike. With your input, the next newsletter will be longer, better, and even harder to put down. Send all submissions, suggestions, and suggestive missives to: 2.718281828 at gmail dotcom. An amazing number of people [I already count 12 that I know of, and we've hardly begun the English language version --Ed.] have worked to produce this newsletter from scratch in [eight] languages in only a few weeks. We hope you enjoy the results. --the WQ editorial team

Efforts to found the first two Wikimedia chapters, based in Germany and France, began this year. Draft bylaws were drawn up, and interested parties selected to help organize and promote each chapter, particularly among the regulars on the de: and fr: Wikipedias. Both chapter initiatives have produced a wealth of chapter documentation, with much of the de: documentation on Meta.

The Quarto caught up with xxx in his tech-cave in an undisclosed part of Nevada. In between cans of Moxie, he let us pick his brain about the modern information bazaar, distributing research activity, and techniques for coping with information overload.

Keep the good work and suggestions coming!
In time of need call on the editor's creed:
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
If you think what you read should be NPOV-ed,
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
So plant a good seed
And do a good deed
And don't ever stop until all have agreed
And then they will call you a real Wikiped-
Ian.
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis!
