I have been on Wikipedia for now 3 years and a half, and for all this time, I have been dreaming on us having an article in Le Monde. We had once a tiny little report in the cultural section. Very little impact. But here, we are featured on first page. The impact of this is likely to be huge, because it means a sort of recognition. In particular we can expect 1) more fear from all those we are currently in competition with, so possibly more attacks 2) but mostly more interest from potential partners, be it firms, organisations, associations, academics etc... The implications might be various. Possibly an impact on the publication of a DVD (which might be interesting for more than just french people). Possibly a partnership for publication of wikireaders (and similarly, why would we limit that to french language ?). Possibly a lever to negociate with organisations such as ESA, which would benefit all of us. And quite possibly as well, more donations, since we are currently in the middle of a fund drive (more money will benefit all of us). We are together in this Ilario. Not just french, or just italian ;-) ant

On a DVD my father and a bussinessparter for his have been experimenting with a DVD edition for the nl.wikipedia. They are interested in a recent dump. Once they figure out all technicalities, we want to talk with the board about it. Waerth/Walter

Wikipédia was featured (3 mins) on LCI, which a subsidiary of TF1, so we can almost say we already did it ^_- Nicolas

French folks, congrats! FYI, there was also a large four page spread in China's Lifeweek magazine about the Wikimania conference, and a long Q&A with Jimbo. And it has an artistic portrait of Jimbo.

Safari seems to be OK. -Andrew (User:Fuzheado) On 9/3/05, Delphine Ménard <notafishz(a)gmail.com> wrote:

We had mail exchanges with him already to try to get it back. For now, he redirects to us, with a bad title and some frame issues editors frequently complain about, but AT LEAST he redirects to us rather than making cash with a mirror or anything else. This could be worse...(see http://wikipedia.ru/) We now have valid trademarks. So the Foundation could normally get the domain back by going legal. I think we'll do if he starts being really a problem. For now, stand by... Ant
