These Dzongkha-speaking heads... any chance that they'll do anything
on the Dzongkha Wikipedia?
By the way, since that's been noted, we might want to clean
dz.wiki up (Gilst Ooli is a pagename left over from when it was
squatted).

Wikipedia snagged some Bhutani coverage this week,
though it seems to
have been written a few months ago... A journalist writing for
/kuensel online/, "Bhutan's daily news site," cheerfully noted the
existence of a Dzongkha Wikipedia.

Meanwhile the Chinese government is developing a editable encyclopedia
of Chinese history, including all extant documents from before 1911.
According to Xinhuanet, "Volunteers may register at
www.china-can.com
to become an intern editor, assistant editor or editor."
The site is designed for "50 billion words and 35 million media
files"; I'm guessing that's a British billion... so around 100 TB.
From the looks of their website, however,
they're just getting off the
ground (and relearning html lessons from 1998)
