Just seen in the report: "Next, we discussed what do to with the wikipedia.com portal, and agreed to the concept of setting up a specific portal, where we could explain more about the projects, about the Foundation, welcome services etc... all things to be discussed in length as wikipedians know perfectly to do."

Who is working on this? Could you point me to the discussions about it (haven't seen them)

But here, the issue was what to do with Wiki*p*edia.com We could also put information about wikiproject, announcement of conferences organized by chapters on Wikipedia issues (such as quality, or education), print on demand stuff, advertisement, international drives for content gathering etc... Right now, no discussion. Nobody took the time yet to foster discussion and work on this. Which is also what mentionning it in report is meant to do. Actually, I talked with Delphine about it some days ago, and she mentionned the future website http://wikipedia.de/ I concluded it was best to wait till this was up. Which is now the case. And my immediate comment is that this is not really what we should do on wikipedia.com. Here is my suggestion. First organizing a public meeting on irc to discuss the issue. Interested people could just informally create a small group to work on a draft proposition, in the same way www.wikipedia.org was done 2 or 3 years ago. I think the way wikipedia.org was set was just great. Elian, I would be very pleased if you volunteered to steer such a group. Maybe a first proposition could be drafted before Wikimania so that the topic can be discussed there ? ant _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

They would be happy to see what we can do together (such as the concept of a Wikipedia tea-shirt, with [[user:geni]] written on it). What do you think ? ant _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

If we change one it should be wikipedia.org and wikipedia.com should stay a redirect.

As for different information, I believe wikimedia.org should be the one with information about the organisation(s) and possibly the projects.

2007/7/5, Delphine Ménard <notafishz(a)gmail.com>om>: Same for me. I misread wikipedia.com as wikipedia.org. Anyway, if someone wants partout to change something about www.wikipedia.com, I suggest http://tools.wikimedia.de/~elian/wikipedia.com/
