Hi,

Wikimedia Deutschland's annual report for the year 2008 is now available for
download at
http://wikimedia.de/fileadmin/wiki/images/Downloads/Taetigkeitsbericht_2008.pdf.
There's at the moment only a German version. So far, we have not considered
producing an English version because we're unsure about demand.

Some of the highlights from the report:

* we relaunched the school project to promote media literacy in education
and started "Generation 50plus" as an outreach program for older generations

* at the "YOU 2008" youth fair, we presented Wikipedia and explained how to
properly use its contents

* in cooperation with Wissen Media Verlag, a publishing house, a one volume
edition of the most popular Wikipedia articles was published in print and
sold in bookstores

* a cooperation with the German federal archive resulted in over 100,000
images being published on Commons under a free license

* through the Zedler award, co-sponsored by the renowned publisher "Spektrum
der Wissenschaft" and the "Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur",
we recognized two outstanding scientific articles written for Wikipedia

* Wikipedia Academy in Berlin strengthened relationships between the
chapter, the community, and academia

* flagged revisions, a collaboration between Wikimedia Deutschland,
Wikimédia France, and the Wikimedia Foundation, went live on German
Wikipedia helping advance the quality of the content

* we supported active contributors to the Wikimedia projects through book
stipends, a digitalization budget, and financial assistance for community
events

* we invested heavily in the Toolserver cluster to improve reliability and
stability of many tools used within Wikipedia and Commons

* total membership went up by about 19% (466), total revenues (including
donations) went up by about 40% (total €368.875,57)

You can find further details about these topics and much more in the report.
We also have printed copies which we'll ready send out to whoever requests
one (send an e-mail to info em wikimedia.de).

Best regards,

Sebastian Moleski
President
Wikimedia Deutschland
