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.

- 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
