Hi-
I'm sure someone can give you a more detailed,
technical explanation, however...
You do upload you graphic to the meta site. This
will make a page with your graphic on the meta site. You
can locate this by going to the -Upload Files- link on
the right of meta.wikipedia. On this page will be a
table of links to to pages with the graphics. Go to the
page with your uploaded graphic. Then, from the regular
wikipedia, put in the url from the meta.wikipedia page
with your graphic.
Such a url looks like:
http://meta.wikipedia.com/upload/cell_cycle.png
Well, I tried...
As Ever,

If you've never used IRC and don't know how, count
yourself lucky. Nothing positive has ever come from
realtime chat. Wikipedia is already a little to close
to "realtime" for me; I like to have a bit of time to
think about what I'm going to say before I start typing.

Let me first say I love real-time chat as a rule.
That said, I would love to chat with lots of the folks
on the 'pedia, but would also not like the idea that
someone could immediately interrupt editing with
chats. The up side is that it would really help with
collaboration. The downside is that I think that the
pedia may not be at a point where users would not
first use it for flaming or jumping in to grind axes.
Having a block mode would help, but then those
conspiracy accusations would rear their ugly heads.
<hoping that y'all realize I'm still interested in the
wikipedia and don't think I'm being a hypocrite by
adding my $.02>

IRC is a protocol, which allows anyone to choose their own client. I'd
much rather use a client of my choosing (and under my control) than use
a website where I have to use whatever chat interface has been decided.

Linux.com, which participates in the OPN, has a page with links to
various clients that can be used. They also link to a page where they
run a Java client to IRC.

Howdy all,
I'm receiving this list in digest form, as I do with many lists. Can we
please have a policy decision on attachments and HTML here? They are
completely useless and annoying, and if they are allowed I'll just have
to unsubscribe and miss out on the useful discussions that happen here.

I think a simple Java interface would be a great idea, plus a note on how to get to the channel using other clients. To be popular it has to be kept 'simple and stupid'.

Between people who have already agreed what to send each other, you can
use whatever you like. But on a mailing list, you can't expect to get
consensus to use anything but what is allowed for by the standard
protocols.
Moreover, to those of us who receive mail in digest form, the HTML and
attachment components of messages are just noise, wasting time and
bandwidth, and making the digest much more difficult to read.
Can we please have the list software drop any attachments?

There are existing conventions for all of these:
* list
* items
*bold text*
/italic text/
_underline text_
Tables are simply aligned columns, since a fixed-width font is assumed.
Is this catering to the lowest common denominator? Yes, of course,
because that way the content is as accessible as possible. HTML was
never designed for email, and each client will display it in ways you
can't predict anyway, so imagining you have some sort of layout control
is futile.

Sounds ideal. Placing "attachment" content on a webpage and providing
the URL allows interested parties to see the content as intended, and
doesn't force it down anyone's badwidth-limited throat.

Hey,
I thought it might be a good idea to have a place to go for real-time
discussions, since Wikipedia Chat is somewhat slow. So there's now a
#wikipedia
channel on
irc.openprojects.net
which is also home to many other open-source projects, so I think it's a
very good server to be on. Please put in the info in appropriate locations, and
feel free to drop by any time you like.
Regards,
Erik
PS: If there already is an IRC channel somewhere, please let me know, I
didn't find any using the search.

Hey, my emailer does
1) *bold*
2) _underline_
3) /italics/
4) lists
* bulleted
* non-bulleted
without HTML...
