Hello,

This is a summary of the 2008 board elections for the week of May 3 to 10. For detailed information on the elections, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2008/en.

==Timeline== * We are accepting candidates between May 8th and 22nd inclusively. There are currently two candidates. * We're still looking for translators; the main translation phase continues until 01 June 2008.

==Election rules== The rules for candidates were slightly changed, centralizing submissions and allowing changes until 22 May 2008 (previously no changes were allowed after submission). http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2008/en?diff=989348&oldid=984583

Two discussions are currently on hold while we examine technical feasibility: * sending an official notification email to all eligible voters; * the voting system.

==Translation== For a detailed translation report, see translators-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/translators-l/2008-May/000664.html
