Subject: [Internal-l] Slide show of 260 Wikimedia Main Pages

Reply-To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination \(closed subscription\)" <internal-l@lists.wikimedia.org>

Hi all,

Yesterday I produced a quick hack to play a slide show of 260 captured Wikipedia main pages, possibly to feature as a showcase at our festivities.

See the show at
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/SlideShowWikipedia.htm

For best viewing maximize your browser by pressing F11.

On slow connections best to have all files local by downloading http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/GalleryWikipedia.zip  (111 MB)
I will capture a new set tomorrow and one on the big day, to keep for posterity.

For quick preview (or pre-loading your cache):
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/SlideShowWikipediaPreview.htm

Fade in/out works well on Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
For Explorer there is a version without fading.

delay between pages can be tweaked
var msec_next_slide=7000 ;
var msec_pause_between_slides=1000 ;

Cheers, Erik Zachte
