[Foundation-l] 10th anniversary of the Polish Wikipedia -- a short announcement

[Asaf Bartov]

Excellent, and congratulations!

I'm particularly excited about the POTY and showcasing of Commons pictures
on exhibition -- this is something I was discussing with some folks back in
Wikimania 2010 in Gdańsk, so I feel closure. :)
