JoiIto just told me we could be nominated for the Ars Electronica digital community prize for Wikicommons.
Well, we were nominated but nobody had accepted the nomination till today (last day), so we were on verge of being rejected.
I just accepted the nomination on behalf of the community.
As a reminder, we got this prize last year for wikipedia community. It is worth presenting wikicommmons, as the community and the interaction between editors is significantly different than on Wikipedia, in particular due to multilingualism. Actually, Wikicommons might be the ultimate type of digital community !
Now, we have about 24 hours to provide information about wikicommons.
The good news is that Villy recently wrote a text about wikicommons for Quarto. But he wrote it in french. Part was translated, but need copyediting. Other parts were not translated.
Please HELP fix the page till tomorrow and improve it if you feel it necessary (add pictures, logos...).
This is both IMPORTANT AND URGENT.
I hope some of you can help.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Anthere
(and thanks to villy)

Gee, I was translating my prose in English badly and slowly for days. Now, thanks to Anthere note, it's all done, even better in English than in French :)
I'm amazed Wikicommons could be nominated but - as you could see in my article - in my opinion, Commons is indeed the very place where the international wikimedians try to work together.
