Hi all, I don't know whether this is the right place to send this mail or not.
I am a small time wikipedia 'volunteer' who sometimes adds some small bits to wikipedia whenever have the time or the inclination for the same.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shirishag75
So I have number of queries which perhaps some of the learned people could advise/help as well :-
a. Now I have also a blog https://flossexperiences.wordpress where there is a sidebar where I would like to put up the wikipedia logo and stuff promoting wikipedia and my relationship with wikipedia . Does anybody know of such a button/graphic in existence?
Wordpress doesn't use iframes, so one without iframes would be nice. Something perhaps to what last.fm gives
http://www.last.fm/widgets perhaps some kind of .png or .mng which has the stats in-built.
What do people think?
b. I was reading the wikiwix blog via "Google translate" and this is what it translated.

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation has updated the version of Lucene for research on Wikipedia, it is now on version 2.1.
I spent last is two hours to test and I remain good septic on the relevance as an example and comparison:
I saw the wikipedia page on Lucene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Lucene but nowhere does it explicitly say that wikipedia uses it. Shouldn't it be saying that?
There is a hint in the reference section but that isn't enough.
c. AFAIK wikimedia (the foundation) is the brains behind wikipedia. Is there a way to know what changes are being made to wikipedia at any point in time, any newsletter or anything of that sort to know what's happening under the hood.
Looking forward to know more of the same. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/
