After we had sent the application to our government, today my ISP told me that the IP address 207.142.131.235, 207.142.131.236, 207.142.131.245, 207.142.131.246, 207.142.131.247, 207.142.131.248 can be access from Mainland China now.
I try it later, and I found that: all Wikipedia project except Chinese Wikipedia can be access on my computer now, all Wiktionay project still can't be access on my computer. Because China is so big a country, the ban policy may vary from one place to another place. Some other Wikipedian had told me that they could access Chinese Wikipedia now. So far it is not clear whether Chinese Wikipedia is still blocked. It seems that the ban policy is a temporary one.

This is definitely a good start.

While progress has been made, we are still not out of the woods.
Please can our chinese colleagues keep us posted on access to the Chinese Wikipedia, even if the notice states that nothing has changed.
Cheers, Andy!
Didn't realize the news might not have gotten to everyone, but the Chinese Wikipedia is now generally accessible from all China, according to folks we have heard from. DNS and all is fine, no need to use IP numbers directly.
A spot check using a proxy server within the PRC shows both ZH and EN acessible right now.
Also, some great quotes from Jimbo on this: http://www.chinatechnews.com/index.php?action=show&type=news&id=1350
There is also a new wikizh-l mailing list, in case anyone is interested. May be lots of posts in Chinese only: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikizh-l
