No, we did not. If nothing else, look in what state the articles on
specialized issues are (in all Wikipedias). I still would like to see a
decent article in any language on for instance nanoelectromechanical
systems (NEMS) (I believe I contributed a bit to the field itself so that
I do not consider myself an appropriate editor to write such an article).
