POTY 2010 files are available; I hope I've included everything.  I don't
know what the setup was like in past years but this year I've included

The POTY2010 seem to be online now at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/poty/2010/ and everything seems to be far okay. The files displayed below are the files missing (deleted from wiki commons presumably) at the point of image tarball creation. The only real issue I have is the character-code mess up when there's non-English symbols in the filenames; like "Manuel_Reimóndez_Portela_-_A_Estrada_-_Galiza.jpg" for "Manuel Reimóndez Portela - A Estrada - Galiza-3.jpg".

I hope others will appreciate the natural beauty of many of the images in the POTY packages! There's historic pictures and images about the Apollo mission, detailed charts about the South Pole, many sharp images of small insects and birds, photographs of mineral crystals and there's even a 217 megapixel scan of "The Garden of Earthly Delights"! It is a magnificent compilation featuring a wide variety of man-made art and information!

It makes me wonder, do the Picture-of-the-day images usually also end up in POTY, it'd be a shame if they were left out, but I'll just guess they're all in there.
