<br><br>Hi,<br>
<br>
Wikimedia Deutschland's annual report for the year 2008 is now available for download at <a href="http://wikimedia.de/fileadmin/wiki/images/Downloads/Taetigkeitsbericht_2008.pdf" target="_blank">http://wikimedia.de/fileadmin/wiki/images/Downloads/Taetigkeitsbericht_2008.pdf</a>. There's at the moment only a German version. So far, we have not considered producing an English version because we're unsure about demand.<br>
<br>
Some of the highlights from the report:<br>
<br>
* we relaunched the school project to promote media literacy in education and started "Generation 50plus" as an outreach program for older generations<br>
<br>
* at the "YOU 2008" youth fair, we presented Wikipedia and explained how to properly use its contents<br>
<br>
* in cooperation with Wissen Media Verlag, a publishing house, a one volume edition of the most popular Wikipedia articles was published in print and sold in bookstores<br>
<br>
* a cooperation with the German federal archive resulted in over 100,000 images being published on Commons under a free license<br>
<br>
* through the Zedler award, co-sponsored by the renowned publisher "Spektrum der Wissenschaft" and the "Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur", we recognized two outstanding scientific articles written for Wikipedia<br>
<br>
* Wikipedia Academy in Berlin strengthened relationships between the chapter, the community, and academia<br>
<br>
* flagged revisions, a collaboration between Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimédia France, and the Wikimedia Foundation, went live on German Wikipedia helping advance the quality of the content<br>
<br>
* we supported active contributors to the Wikimedia projects through book stipends, a digitalization budget, and financial assistance for community events<br>
<br>
* we invested heavily in the Toolserver cluster to improve reliability and stability of many tools used within Wikipedia and Commons<br>
<br>
* total membership went up by about 19% (466), total revenues (including donations) went up by about 40% (total €368.875,57)<br>
<br>
You can find further details about these topics and much more in the report. We also have printed copies which we'll ready send out to whoever requests one (send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:info@wikimedia.de" target="_blank">info@wikimedia.de</a>).<br>
