Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-05-23/From the editor

This is just a brief note to thank everyone who has stuck with The Signpost in my absence, whether as a reader or a contributor. The reporters have put in a lot of work, and I'm glad that the project does not depend solely on me. My guest editor, Sj, will now be able to spend more time working on the next issue of the Quarto for the Foundation. I appreciate him filling in and will continue to value his input and ideas.

We're still trying to make The Signpost as useful as possible to the greatest number of people. You may have noticed more news coming in from Wikipedia in other languages and from the other Wikimedia projects. As noted on the Wikipedia mailing list, a number of Wikipedia languages celebrated their fourth anniversary on Friday. While the focus here is still on the English Wikipedia, I hope this can stimulate efforts to get similar news sources going elsewhere, as well as keep us better in touch as a community overall.
