You talked to me. It's still on my to-do list. Sorry for the delay but
in the meantime I decided to wait until "Wikipedia" is registered as a
trademark in the EU (according to Jimbo the paperwork for this is done).
I know that a registered trademark is not necessary, but from my
experience it would help us a lot in getting the problem solved without
long discussions.
