[Wikipedia-l] Wikipedia turns a few heads in Bhutan, China

[Sj]

Wikipedia snagged some Bhutani coverage this week, though it seems to
have been written a few months ago...  A journalist writing  for
/kuensel online/, "Bhutan's daily news site," cheerfully noted the
existence of a Dzongkha Wikipedia.

Meanwhile the Chinese government is developing a editable encyclopedia
of  Chinese history, including all extant documents from before 1911. 
According to Xinhuanet, "Volunteers may register at www.china-can.com
to become an intern editor, assistant editor or editor."

The site is designed for "50 billion words and 35 million media
files"; I'm guessing that's a British billion...  so around 100 TB.  
>From the looks of their website, however, they're just getting off the
ground (and relearning html lessons from 1998)
