In episode 23, we cover: 1. the opening keynote presentation given by Anthere and introduced by Jimmy Wales; 2. the Wikimedia Foundation press conference; 3. "Where have the content creators gone?" by Seth Anthony, "The conscientious copyfighter" by Kat Walsh, and other opening sessions; 4. the conference schwag. In addition, we're introducing a new "vox populi" segment, in which we give Wikimania attendees a chance to participate in the release of each morning episode. This episode, we ask them about themselves, their experiences with Wikipedia, and how they became involved with the project. We'll try to have another episode up tonight, with still more news on the conference. Until then, enjoy episode 23!

Enjoy News *Jimbo's letter to New Yorker published I am writing to apologize to "The New Yorker" and Stacy Schiff, and to give some follow-up concerning Ryan Jordan (Editors' Note, March 5). When I last spoke to "The New Yorker" about the fact that a prominent Wikipedia community member had lied about his credentials, I misjudged the issue. It was not O.K. for Mr. Jordan, or Essjay, to lie to a reporter, even to protect his identity. I later learned more about the deceptions involved and asked Mr. Jordan to resign from his positions of responsibility at Wikipedia. He has since resigned from his position at Wikia as well. Mr. Jordan is a wonderful and thoughtful young man who made a series of very bad judgments. I consider him a friend, and I hope that the world will allow to move forward in peace and dignity to regain his honor through a life well lived. Wikipedia is built on trust and love. Our trust has been broken, and only love can rebuild it. The community has begun discussing a proposal of mine that we adopt some verification measures for claimed credentials, so that Wikipedia may further improve from this painful experience. * Hiring of Bastique, Cary Bass * Web 3.0 article gets attention * Alex Beam's column in the Boston Globe "My sticky Wiki" - Calls citizendium "Wikipedia with adult supervision" Wikimania * "Wikimania Lounge" ideas, Wikipedia Weekly hopes to go to Taiwan Michael Eisner's New company "Vuguru" - live article-creation Wiki Industry * Gaming Wikia and other sites launched - Interview with Angela Beesley * Danny Hillis Freebase * Citizendium update, response to criticisms The World According to Wikipedia * More 300 (film) popularity * 18.
