Random ideas

Big picture

I would like to have a big photo as a poster with all people helping and editing the wikimedia projects. In addition, it would be great if almost everybody would wear a wikipedia shirt or baseball cap or somthing like this.

Maybe a newspaper will print this picture for free? :) -- MichaelDiederich 16:51, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I think this is a very good idea. We'd need to find a photographer to do the stuff. Surely there's a Commoner somewhere who can do that. notafish }<';> 10:30, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Not only photo but only hand drawing if possible. I collected some panphlets on exhibitions in Kassel and it was very fun to read it. - But I prefer a simple and symbolic designed poster (perhaps with some photos) personally.

Shared blog

How do you think organisation stuffs have a shared blog or a sort of that like wikidev community on LJ? Or just a page on this wiki. --Aphaia 16:30, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• If we want to collect blog entries, a planet would be best. A Wiki is better for collecting result... --Joerg.Hoh 22:58, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • Planet? URL please? Aph.

Multi- or parallel language

• MediaWiki:Loginreqtext is now only available in English. Is it better to support at least three official language or not necessary? --Aphaia 10:06, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
