Goings-on in the week starting Sunday May 16 2004

• We've recently picked up two major community awards (where is our awards page?), and need a new round of press releases. We need editors to help polish and translate our current draft, and we need energetic WPans to send it out while the Webbys are still on people's minds. Also help with crafting the five word acceptance speech, a tradition of the Webby Awards.
• A 17-year cicada swarm is covering large parts of the eastern US. Photos of the event would be greatly appreciated.
• A MediaWiki software upgrade is planned. Check the Village pump for more information.
• Wile E. Heresiarch becomes an administrator. Congratulations!
