I am trying to build an interactive structure along the same lines, but much different. I am an artist by trade, and love programming. Can you inform me of current work? Also, I am looking for someone to collaborate with. Anyone interested? Great work, keep it going! Hi,

It is very interesting and I would love to see the results when this applied to other versions.... Is it possible for me to do this as part of my non-commercial PhD work in Oxford?

I'm wondering about the licence for this image. As most images on wikipedia are released under a sharealike licence I guess this counts as a derived work so GFDL would seem appropriate.

Through 2004 there were some bots that weren't flagged as such. October 2003 was the last month for which the [[Current Events]] page kept on rolling over from month to month; it was finally moved to [[October 2003]] and a new naming system started. So all edits to the current events page from 2001 to October 2003 get counted in that total. "Muhammid" (in your last sidebar above) is I hope a misspelling! Lovely work. I want to know how I can get a large-scale version printed out for the Boston Wikipedia group...
