OpenUsability

Do you need money? Even if not – OpenUsability is a to-be-supported project. As el writes OpenUsability needs one hour of your valuable time in the time from 6th till 10th February for improving Wikipedia in an usability test. You will get 15 € for one hour of effort. Just write an email to el and support OpenUsability (the email address is mentioned in this blog article)!

What about a converter for the other direction? I think that would make BPython even more useful.

But this is likely to be extended…

“Wikipedia beats ‘Encyclopaedia Britannica’ “

Think about the Future – the headline could be the truth in the not-so-far future. You may read the article Internet encyclopaedias go head to head which was recently published in the Nature journal.

Congratulation to Jimmy Wales(!) and all other – UNcountable – Wikipedia contributors!
