Thank you for your warm welcome Meno. I will try to do some translations on the wiki over the next few weeks and see how that goes. In relation to that, is there anything I can do regarding operation of the IRC channels or the wiki?

Sounds great. I am highly familiar with IRC channel operations (from being an op on #wikipedia, #wikipedia-en-help, etc) and also wiki operations so it looks like I'm interested. Let me know when any discussions or meetings are on and I'll endeavour to attend such events. Thank you again and looking forward to working with you all, E English Wikipedia e.wikipedia(a)gmail.com From: Wikinews Markie Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 9:46 AM To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Online Team hopefully the online team will be involved in streaming and IRC channels, basically stuff for people who are not attending and can be done online. during the event the IRC channels will be absolute mayhem and people who are familiar with IRC will need to be there to answer questions to new people and kick people who are just there to cause trouble. also the wiki will be constantly updated by people at the event who post and then go off to do something, so the online team will be there to fiddle around make it look good and fix it all up during the event. before the event we will be discussing features needed and how we can improve on stuff from last year such as the streams and getting videos online to view in the quickest time possible to good standards, and hopefully these discussion will start soon. thanks for joining the team, and look forward to seeing you round in the future, markie (online team member) On Nov 24, 2007 11:40 PM, E < e.wikipedia(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Thank you for your warm welcome Meno.
