The Wikimedia Foundation has developed a process to create "stable versions" of articles in its projects. Wikipedia will be initially testing this process in the German Wikipedia encyclopedia, a trial that will be evaluated, and potentially implemented on all languages, in all Wikimedia projects. |

[http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimania 2006], the second annual international Wikimedia conference, was held August 4–6 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hosted by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at the Harvard Law School campus. Both a scientific conference and a community event, Wikimania brought together members of the various Wikimedia projects in order to exchange ideas, build relationships, and report on research and project efforts. It also provided an opportunity for Wikimedians and the general public alike to meet and share ideas about free and open source software, free knowledge initiatives, and wiki projects worldwide. |
