Got an announcement? Make it!

August 15, 2001

You can now get the code and data for the Wikipedia wikis [here] (in giant tarballs for each site). This means that programmers can now (if they can figure out how :-) ) use Wikipedia articles on their own websites and work on Wikipedia code.

In other news, recent discussions on Wikipedia-L as well as on Larry Sanger/An impending scalability problem have raised some interesting questions about the future of Wikipedia. It seems that many are now desiring some way to sort through the RecentChanges page more easily, because (not that we're complaining or anything) there are so many of us at work now that there are hundreds of edits per day--making it difficult to identify edits in which we're interested and distinguish them from other edits. Various solutions are being considered.

August 7, 2001

Wikipedia passes 8,000 articles. See new topics for examples.
