[edit] News

  • We're back apologies for the break
  • Wikimania in brief... it's soon!
    • August 3-5, Taipei
    • Previously in Frankfurt, Boston, now in Taipei
  • Elections results [1]
    • This year's system - approval voting, endorsements
    • Third place (Frieda) and sixth place (Danny) separated only by 37 votes.
    • Oscar van Dillen, Michael Snow and Danny did not place even though they were very close
    • Greg Maxwell's mass emailing
    • Should it be used next year? People point out top vote getter is approved by only 40% of the community
    • Forum at Wikimania
  • Sue Gardner and Mike Godwin
  • Wikimania
    • What we're doing
      • Wikimania Lounge
      • Community forum w/Andrew and Mike Godwin
    • What we'd like from the audience
  • Shameless self-promotion of Fuzheado's observation on article creation rate
    • Dramatic drop
    • Is there a problem with article creation and deletion?
    • Examples:
      • Amy Polumbo - should be many more updates, current events, Internet related
    • Stable versions, one year later - it's been one year since stable versions was announced at last year's Wikimania. What's been done since then? Is something imminent?
