Hi, I was invited to speak about "Wiki-projects" on a translator's conference in Cracow. Well, really my translator colleagues know me for the one that works on the Wikimedia projects and of course also on Ultimate Wiktionary. This means that I will tell about how things on a wiki work, about GFDL, about Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Ultimate Wiktionary and if time permits also about Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikinews and whatever - I would at least like to add all these informations on a CD to give to the participants (there should be descriptions in many languages around, right?).

Now I don't have problems to burn approx. 120 CDs - I could also ask for help to a friend of mine here, where I live, but I need contents - enough to show the potentials but not too much in order to have people then go to the projects itself for further reference.

I just talked with Frieda from the Italian chapter - she will help me to create the entrance pages that have to be done manually.

Now what I would like to have are the downloaded pages of the translations of the week from the last year because I suppose these are articles that are very complete. I suppose, being these translations they will also create a very particular mood for translators and maybe some of them will decide to dedicate some time to their local projects. People going to this conference come from anywhere and it is very likely that they will give copies of the CD to friends and others if we have some useful stuff on it. I'll also try to add some glossaries that I have myself and that are under GFDL.

So please help us to create this CD by downloading these pages and sending them to me. Maybe it would also be a good idea to tell us briefly on the list what/on which wikipedia you are going to do the downloads of the pages.

Or would it make sense to use HTTrack (well I should learn how to use it properly) in order to have the links working? Martin gave me this idea for another project some days ago and there I saw that all the links access directly the website where the page was downloaded from on the Internet.

Well, thank you for any help!

Ciao, Sabine
