its a feature(#w) [10:11] <_sj_> where's the right place for reporting a 'feature' in wiki syntax? [10:12] <Timwi> There is no such place. :) [10:18] ...in such a way that they will be fixed within any reasonable time-frame.
WOP(#w) [10:55] <snoyes> you are listed as a "confirmed speaker" on [1] [10:55] <snoyes> along with erik and jimbo [10:55] <Sunir> yup... we're announcing the end of wikipedia [10:56] we're replacing it with an ice cream stand. [10:59] I warn you, it's open source ice cream. [11:02] <snoyes> Is RMS giving his standard Cone/Ice Cream vs. Ice Cream lecture? [11:04] <Sunir> Yeah. We had to placate him with a free strawberry sundae. [11:05] Ice cream isn't *free*. It costs money to make, cows to milk. [11:05] <Timwi> You have two cows.
Evil(#w) [12:06] <Timwi> http://www.wikipedia.evil/ doesn't seem to work for me.

Categorically monkey(#w) [13:44] <sils> "This is a famous monkey. To see an automatically generated list of other famous monkeys click here." [13:45] <fabi> we're going to have to keep categories on our watchlists, aren't we [13:45] <SethI> Otherwise George W. Bush will end up on List of famous monkeys. [13:45] <fabi> otherwise some wit will add GW Bush to the "famous monkyies [13:45] <fabi> :) [13:45] <SethI> jinx!
Rf-WHAT?(T:)
<RickK> I took it to the mailing list is because there isn't really anyplace
on the Encyclopedia to ask other people's opinions about articles.
