One idea for future years in review:

  • include a summary of developments in wiki 'zines, contests, and {featured content / "* of the day" feeds}

The featured content stats probably need to be generated by a script. The zine and contest notes might be gleanable now. Each is an active community effort to foster or highlight certain types of contribution, and could be handy to one describing a project in 60 seconds. Size/scope of article and image contests, and development of communication channels like Wikimedium (and changes in the Signpost, however self-referential), would also make good reads. +sj+ 06:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the suggestions. We need more stories about article contests ({{sofixit}}!). A quick summary of the changes in the signpost is in this week's letter to the editor. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 16:04, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I added a sentence about the wikicup, too. Forgot to include. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 03:51, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's unbelievable that a year after Jimmy's request, flagged revs still hasn't been enabled. How complicated could this possibly be? de.wiki have had it for years! --Zvika (talk) 10:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Two-words response: user culture. Circéus (talk) 13:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • this week's News and notes actually has an item about that; there are actually technical complications to implementing flaggedrevs the way it was voted in here, on a page by page basis. The code had to be rewritten, it turns out. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 16:04, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
