Hoi, In the thread started about the decline of mailing lists, it is written that many people are blogging instead. I am one of those who does exactly this. On one level I got frustrated about people stating that to much was written and, that because of my frequent contributions I "should" reduce what I had to say. For those who are interested in what people write on blogs, there are ways of following this in a reader.
Some news.. news that is not only interesting to blog about ..
- I have learned that Steve Slevinsky has started work on an extension
that will enable SignWriting in a MediaWiki environment.. He has started a Wiki where he is show casing his progress. http://www.signpuddle.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
- I learned that Sourceforge gives the maintainers of a project the
choice to have a MediaWiki environment. I think this is yet another great example of MediaWiki being used outside of the WMF.
- On the Wikimedia Conferentie Nederland i will give a presentation
about a Commons that supports search and categories in multiple languages. We have a proof of concept project at http://commons.i-iter.org/ We are looking for funding to make it ready for use at Commons. We do invite comments and particularly developers. We have run our of budget to work on this for the moment. The presentation will be available after the conference.
Thanks, GerardM
