New subject: But America slept through it.

Rather than hasty generalizations, I suggest gathering some more data first. An infobox for event meta info and results would be helpful. Our Boulder event went very well, I thought. We had over 40 people show up. I found it really easy to organize, and I'll confess that I was motivated by getting a t-shirt (to fit into my extensive collection :) We got coverage on our local community radio station (KGNU), who even released the 10-minute story as CC-By-SA! Rick Block gave a detailed talk on bots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:User:Rick_Block/10th See more, including pictures and links to the media etc, at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulder,_Colorado Cheers, Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/ On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 09:06:14AM -0500, Tripathi, Kaushlendra wrote: > Hi > > We organized the event at Charleston, SC it was quite successful. > > The event started with cutting of cake by Int Director Of MUSC Rebecca. > > We had very good talk by Dr. Krug and Visa > > We have more number of people so some went without T-shirt. > > Even though it was a long weekend but people was there. > > We were also connected with NYC group with skype. > > It was really fun. > We discussed on vast area of wikipedia > > People liked buttons more, than T-shirts. > > I like to thanks to walling, jimmy and other people who were behind to this event. > > Thanking you. > with best regards > Kaushlendra tripathi > > > > > >

The wikipedia-images.zip file made it easy in that case to figure out which language each slide was in, since they seemingly were alphabetical by the iso code for the language (I think that's what it is), except for the first one which was 'en' for english.

It's really interesting that you bring this up, Neal. David Peters designed the shirt - a contract designer who has been working with WMF for over a year now on a variety of projects. He also developed the core Wikipedia 10 concept design. He was telling me the other day that he has A) found a handful more scripts that weren't included in this design, and B) he's realized that he hasn't provided a code-key to explain what all of the languages are, and he's now working on a simple graphic to show the romanized/english variant of each name, and it seems that it would make sense per your point to include the abbreviated language designator of each too. For the whole 250+ Wikipedias there are only about 60 different language character variations of the wordmark. The tagline 'the free encyclopedia' is different and unique in virtually every language, but the wordmark itself is not necessarily unique. I'm not sure that's exactly what you were looking for, but I think it's a step in that direction. jay On Jan 27, 2011, at 10:09 PM, Neal McBurnett wrote:

Great news - I look forward to seeing it! I have no idea if the source I noted at http://az.wikipedikia.org/wiki/Vikipediya is right, but FWIW, based on the names there I count 99 unique spellings. I've attached a list, sorted by the number of occurrences. Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/ On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 10:22:39AM -0800, Jay Walsh wrote:
