Subject: Wikipedia christmas calendar?
To: translators-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
What about a wikipedia christmas calendar? It can maybe preview some
articles or something similar. Then it can be multilingual.
What do you think?

Why can't people realize they have no right to demand that others be
silent? Why can't people realize that the delete key is their friend, no one is
making anyone read anything, that there is a choice? Why can't people
realize that what is irritating to some, is interesting to others? Why can't
people realize that censorship does not stop conversation, it makes it explode
elsewhere to the detriment of all parties?

I think it's a little pre-mature to say that it's a sensationalised rumour
speading because of a lack of accurate information. What we know so far is
someone said "was he fired?" and now we know he has a last day posted. It's
a little odd to work for only a few months at a job though. So "fired"
wouldn't be a bad guess. "Quit in a huff" could be another guess.

Ha. I'm not ashamed to say I've been fired. Not once! I cast a spell on
them and they were bankrupt within the year. So there.
Some of the companies I've worked for think I'm the cat's meow (that's a
good thing), and some think I'm the devil incarnate. I guess that's my
character. I leave an impression that is not forgotten.
Mavericks get fired. People who've never been fired might be too placid
for my taste. Spice is part of life.

Yes, correct Delphine. There's only the one :-)

It is actually _the_ one at the office, I don't think there are two of
these, are there?

Hello,
Having read
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/14/wiki.china/
I would like to collect more information about the situation of online
encyclopedias in China Mainland. I am now browsing a litte bit around
with Google Translator, but it remains difficult to get an impression
concerning the following questions:
* how the collaboration process differs
* how good is the content
* how liberal is the content (not contamined directly or indirectly by
the government)
Does someone of you knows more?
Kind regards
