Well done indeed to Mike and Andrew in particular for pushing on past all the obstacles.
Well done Charles and Brian for writing the article, and also pushing past your share of obstacles. :-)
I think I've found another addiction thanks to this - I spent most of today and yesterday making a book of Yeats available on Wikisource... If you haven't already tried proofreading a book on Wikisource, then I would thoroughly recommend it.
The next press release, due to go out tomorrow evening, will be about a donation of images from the Mary Rose Trust:

Please help! If this goes down well in the media, then it will be a great precedent for getting more organizations to make their content available by Wikimedia websites.
Thanks, Mike
