News

  • 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?
  • Wikipedia-download . Viruses in Wikipedia? [1] (get Jimbo to comment?)

Questions for Martin

  • Why don't you tell us a little about Wikipedia 0.5?
  • Is this an official project? Do you have the support of the Wikimedia Foundation?
  • What kinds of articles are you planning to include?
  • Are you including images?
  • Article reviewing finished today -- how many articles did you end up selecting?
  • How do you think Wikipedia 0.5 will be distributed?
  • ShipIt?
  • When do you think the CD will be released?
  • User:BozMo has been working on a similar project: a CD edition of Wikipedia for the SOS Chidrens' Charity, that contains around 2,000 articles. Are there any major differences between your two projects?
  • How similar to Wikipedia will 0.5 look? The original SOS Children CD lacked any of the look-and-feel of Wikipedia, but will this be different in 0.5?
  • Are there any plans for a DVD release?
