Agenda

This is the basic layout of how the episode is planned to move along.

Introduce the panel

That'd be the speakers listed above. Each person says what they'd like to about themselves, and we move on.

News

• Growth slowing?. David Cannon reports October the lowest number of new articles in a year. See Wikipedia:Announcements
• Wikipedia-download . Viruses in Wikipedia?

From the Signpost

• Stolen from the tip-line: Exposure of deep, long-term self-promotion. User:Psychonaut, the person that discovered the articles in question, has already been invited to come speak to us about this.
• Arbitration Committee elections begin, more than a dozen candidates currently signed up. The elections themselves start on December 4. Surely JamesF would be a good person to talk about this with us?
• New logos chosen for Wikibooks, Wiktionary, and Wikiversity. From the Signpost:

The following logos have been selected. Only the Wikiversity logo has been put into usage as of press time (and the Spanish language version retains the old logo), though discussion on the color of the logo was still continuing. The Wikibooks logo still awaits a change in color, as it was deemed too similar to the Wikimedia Foundation's logo, and discussion continues on the exact letters/glyphs to be used in the Wiktionary logo.

Feedback

If anybody provides some particularly interesting feedback, or one of us has anything cool to say, we'd say it here. Who knows? It might be interesting, if we ever have anything to say. :)

The World According to Wikipedia

This would be a quick, light-hearted discussion of any particularly funny page-rankings we see on The Top 100 pages at Wikipedia. There's at least two or three minutes' worth of humour in that. :)
