I just read that on Angela's blog. Now, that indicates a ready and willing market.
Is there a page detailing the process? Even one in German would be good to see. How did they do the sifting? Did they do any sifting? etc.
Specifically, I'm wondering how possible it is to do something like this for en: before MediaWiki 1.5 (when the ratings system goes live) and 1.6 (when we might actually do something with the data).

I agree. That also indicates a ready and willing market for en.wikipedia.

This is for the Fall-2004-CD: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD/Erfahrungsbericht
This is for the Spring 2005-CD/DVD http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Distribution/Erfahrungsberi...

You don't want to read that :)

Ask Magnus Manske for his code.
You have actually two problems regarding text: * Is the article itself "fit" for the DVD/CD? * Was it vandalized recently?
Besides several hundred smaller issues (Template Tags, Links to another namespaces..)

That's precisely what I'm thinking ;-)

I do have a course in learning German here that I need to work through!

Yes, those are the current plans as I understand them :-) The idea being that there's no point doing anything with the numbers from ratings until we know what the ratings look like.

So en.wikipedia should start adding Personendaten tags to articles about people. You will need them at least for the standard Lemma sorting (Wales, Jimmy instead of Jimmy Wales).
