Wikipedia DVD explodes onto German market Not content with their fall release of a feature-packed Fall CD with 130,000 articles, 1,200 images, which was distributed and downloaded over 100,000 times, the German Wikipedia's crack team of content-reviewers turned out a Spring DVD with more than twice as much content.

It quickly rose into the top-20 list of Amazon.de's most popular software titles over the weekend. April Fools fools some April Fools was celebrated on some of the Wikimedia projects.

I'll get right on that. Can each of these have versions in twenty different languages?"
