One interesting thing I read: "The publisher only uses articles from writers who are known to be reliable. However, on the previous DVD were at least a hundred copyrighted articles taken from a DDR Lexika. After the slip-up was discovered, Directmedia immediately replaced the DVD image."

Hi wikipedians,

perhaps the German speaking wikipedians are interested in the release of the book "Wikipedia" by Directmedia and the latest Wikipedia DVD with ~300.000 articles (in German only!) and ~100.000 images from de and commons.

You can find information here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiPress

And you can download the stuff here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiPress/Download

Bye, Tim.

Quick note: I ordered one for myself at DirectMedia, and two as christmas presents at amazon.

The DirectMedia arrived about a week ago; I'm still waiting for the amazon ones. Sold out?
