• We're back apologies for the break
• Wikimania in brief... it's soon!
• August 3-5, Taipei

• Elections results [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Results/en]
• This year's system - approval voting, endorsements
• Third place (Frieda) and sixth place (Danny) separated only by 37 votes.
• Oscar van Dillen, Michael Snow and Danny did not place even though they were very close
• Greg Maxwell's mass emailing
• Should it be used next year? People point out top vote getter is approved by only 40% of the community
• Forum at Wikimania
• Sue Gardner and Mike Godwin
• Wikimania
• What we're doing
• Wikimania Lounge
• Community forum w/Andrew and Mike Godwin
• What we'd like from the audience
• Shameless self-promotion of Fuzheado's observation on article creation rate
• Dramatic drop
• Is there a problem with article creation and deletion?
• Examples:
• Amy Polumbo - should be many more updates, current events, Internet related
• Stable versions, one year later - it's been one year since stable versions was announced at last year's Wikimania. What's been done since then? Is something imminent?

• Wikia -- Jimmy's Wikia Search as Google killer

• Federal Magistrates' Court of Australia gets it wrong - confuses Armeniapedia with Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-07-23/News_and_notes]
