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?
