Ah yes, sorry:

So that'll be a "not yet", then.
- d.
All -
we've set up a blog to accompany our annual fundraiser. The headlines
from the blog will be featured in the sitenotice:
http://whygive.wikimedia.org/
I'd like to invite you to submit posts to the blog. These posts can be
provocative, and should give compelling reasons to support the
Wikimedia Foundation. You can draft posts here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2007/Why_Give_blog
Posts will be selected by a number of people: Cary Bass (our Volunteer
Coordinator), Sandy Ordonez (our Communications Manager), Sue Gardner
(Special Advisor to the Board), and myself. We'll probably try to have
a new post every 2-3 days at least.
Once again, the point of these posts is first and foremost to invite
the general public to donate. :-) Please submit stories in this
general spirit.
If you are willing to act as a moderator for comments to vet out spam
& trolling, please contact Cary Bass at <cbass AT wikimedia DOT org>.
For now, this is an experiment and as such, only in English. We will
set up blogs in other languages if this one has a measurable impact on
our fundraising.
Thanks for any and all help!

Member of the Board

You guys might also be intrested in the set up the english wikinews
uses for irc. We use irc a lot there due to the nature of Wikinews, so
we've tried to make our irc stuff really easy.

Hi there,
I just wanted to tell you, that there now it a way to connect to
#wikimedia-commons on IRC without installing an IRC client:
http://wikipedia-irc.cruxwan.de/Chat-commons.html
You just need to have Java installed. For technical issues please refer to

Best regards,

According to the CC blog, the intention of CC-Ø is that it "signals
that there are no copyrights or other related rights attached to the
content." ie, use it for government-PD (and maybe PD-old?) works. I am
guessing http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ is going to
be recommended where we use "PD-self".
However the problem still remains of how to pronounce this. ;) "CC
urh". "CC slashed-oh." "CC empty set." "CC Close-mid front rounded
vowel". Problematic indeed.
Also note http://public.resource.org/ which apparently prompted this.
They have collected a bunch of US government stuff, and at Flickr have
uploaded over 6,000 images from the Smithsonian that they believe are
PD. http://public.resource.org/memo.2007.05.19.html (incl. links to
tarball) Any comments on that? Anything new for us?
cheers,
Brianna
