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. http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/SlideShowWikipediaMSIE.htm
delay between pages can be tweaked var msec_next_slide=7000 ; var msec_pause_between_slides=1000 ;
