You are encouraged to join us and help out with one of the projects, or to discuss Wikipedia 1.0 on the talk page.
Our strategy has been intensely debated, but the group has reached a consensus. We elected not to follow the German model. Instead we chose to start with a core of quality articles on key subjects and expand from there. We have produced a small test version (Version 0.5), with the goal of releasing larger collections of articles in due course. The next general release is generically referred to as "Release Version" while our first "official" comprehensive release will be called Version 1.0.
We have a number of subprojects. Here are the most active:
Most recent work has focused on organizing articles for Version 0.7, which we hope to release in 2009. We are now mainly using bot-assisted selection based on assessment by WikiProjects.
On the English Wikipedia, we use the Selection Bot as part of the selection process, using the WikiProject assessments to indicate the state of each article. The online version is held on the Kiwix server while undergoing cleanup. The offline format we use is ZIM format, and the conversion is performed by User:Kelson. Currently Linterweb, a French software company, is publishing our material.
