Jimmy,

(I did not really understand if the presentation in Facebook was your 
own work, or someone else work ?)

I'll be very pleased if you work at a presentation for the coming board 
meeting, but it would be a good idea to inform the organizers of the 
agenda beforehand. You have neither mentionned that on the board list, 
nor on the board wiki. The agenda is already pretty full, so we have no 
time to squizze in another long discussion.

I'll need to know how long it will take, what you are exactly planning 
to discuss, and when you are planning to be present at the board 
meeting. Depending on your answer, Sue and I will try to find a slot for 
a presentation.

More generally, if any of you have a topic you would like to discuss 
absolutely at that board meeting, please SHOW UP NOW ! :-)

Ant

I was just reviewing this thread and it motivated me to hurry up and
finish a presentation that I plan to make at the upcoming board meeting.

I was curious to know whether Facebook users understand that Wikipedia
is a charity, and what they think about putting advertising in
Wikipedia.
