Hello all,
I think that when such a number of people come together it would be nice to
have a key-signing in Berlin. If you have no idea, what a key-signing is, look
at the wikipedia-article [[en:Key_signing_party]].
If you don't own a pgp-key yet and are an linux-user there are several how-tos
Maybe we could use that $20,000 that Philip Greenspun donated back in
2007 to purchase the Encarta illustrations (since it doesn't appear
that that money is ever going to be used otherwise).

Hello,
A couple of days ago I have contacted our project manager in San Francisco
who is dealing with the improvement of the usability of Wikipedia. I have
done this interview for [[de:Wikipedia:Kurier]] and translated it to German,
but originally it is in English and so I thought that I can also s

Well, the poll was closed with 80% support. It probably should have been
extended, if for no other reasons than that votes continued to come in at a
pretty good clip and there is no pressing reason to close it on deadline.
