Yes, I know what you're thinking -- not another "x articles" press
release.
Well, I think for the next time we should think of some other news to
announce:
1) Wikimedia Foundation set up as an umbrella organization for applying
the wiki idea to a wide set of problems
2) Basic Wikimedia homepage set up
3) Wikimedia starts taking donations
4) Wikibooks launched
5) Wikiquote launched
6) Two week fundraising drive to allow us to buy new hardware etc.
We'll have 150K articles in about 3 weeks. Can we get this stuff sorted
out until then? E.g. have
wikibooks.org set up, and have an account for
donations? Jimbo?
This might well be one of the biggest announcements in Wikipedia's
history, and we should prepare it well.
Regards,
Erik
