Sorry, it was such a busy time here. Here is the report from Germany:
Since the press release we got a huge amount of edits and new users. I
think some of them will stay ans edit frequently. Fortunately there is not
too much spam. We recieved quite a lot good content and there are no real
tendencies to write a second Wikipedia - justy inquiries for categories and
references. We created lots of categories. The other discussion is
currently down. How do the other communities think about that?
The reaction of the Germam press was huge. After the official press release
of WMDE me and Roland had interviews with newspapers (quite big ones in
Germany like Die Welt, Die Zeit and Süddeutsche) as well as an interview
with a radio station. The start was absolutely perfect.
When the busy start is over we should spend more time in interaction
between the language versions to drive things forward. One point was
mentioned above already. The policies. I am aware the English community has
mor and more detailed ones as we have. Meanwhile we are aware the we lack
in some details. Reviewing our policies and create mor global ones seems to
be very useful.
I have moved our association wiki, changed the database, updated to the
latest wiki version and redesigned it. There are some more things to do
(some translations) but the basic information are available. I am about to
extend it. Especially the "About us" section has to be reviewed and
translated. The application to become a Thematic Organisation is running.
Everybody is invited to join the association. It's important to become more
international to support all current and future language versions and start
new ideas and projects.
