ha! UTC-time ftw. Your message shows up as arriving on Wed 31 for me, thus I gave you a serious answer! :)
And your handbook really is great :)

Dear Phoebe,
You make my day! Actually, it should have been yesterday, but I am afraid most people did not notice my Aprils fool item.
Once I thought translating my Handbook into English, but other things gained priority. Especially my textbook I am due to have finished on July 1st, and about which I was still going to ask you questions - you are more experienced still.
Kind regards Ziko

When he told me about, I looked up again what I had written about (small) Wikipedia language editions in my handbook (in German): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Ziko/Handbuch-Titel . I then, in 2008, found li.WP relatively good, but there were also some difficulties, for example the lack of a technical vocabulary.
Thanks for reminding us of your book on multilingual Wikipedias! It's amazing. It would be lovely to expand this to all languages, to have a comprehensive Wikipedia handbook!
When I examined the background I found out that most of the li.Wikipedians indicate their real names and many are women. With permission, here what Gebroeker:JennySteen wrote to me:
wow! This is really unusual and interesting. Do you think it is just because of the effect of having a small community centered around this group of editors?
btw I am not seeing the color changes for user pages.. and maybe http://li.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebroeker:JennySteen edits under a different account?
