Sorry, it was such a busy time here. Here is the report from Germany:
Since the press release we got a huge amount of edits and new users. I think some of
them will stay ans edit frequently. Fortunately there is not too much spam. We recieved
quite a lot good content and there are no real tendencies to write a second Wikipedia -
justy inquiries for categories and references. We created lots of categories. The other
discussion is currently down. How do the other communities think about that?
The reaction of the Germam press was huge. After the official press release of WMDE me
and Roland had interviews with newspapers (quite big ones in Germany like Die Welt, Die
Zeit and Süddeutsche) as well as an interview with a radio station. The start was
absolutely perfect.
When the busy start is over we should spend more time in interaction between the
language versions to drive things forward. One point was mentioned above already. The
policies. I am aware the English community has mor and more detailed ones as we have.
Meanwhile we are aware the we lack in some details. Reviewing our policies and create mor
global ones seems to be very useful.
I have moved our association wiki, changed the database, updated to the latest wiki
version and redesigned it. There are some more things to do (some translations) but the
basic information are available. I am about to extend it. Especially the "About
us" section has to be reviewed and translated. The application to become a Thematic
Organisation is running. Everybody is invited to join the association. It's important
to become more international to support all current and future language versions and start
new ideas and projects.
