Three users -
Raul654,
Mindspillage, and
Sj - represented Wikimedia at Friday's session of the
ACMCFP-2006 conference. Several speakers - notably EFF lawyer
Mike Godwin and science fiction author
Vernor Vinge - spoke in glowing terms of Wikipedia. (Vinge later said the plenary session discussing Wikipedia was one of the highlights of the conference for him.)
Mr. Vinge also passed along a request for a certain feature (a sort of "Wayback Wikipedia" where it would be possible to view all articles on Wikipedia as they existed at a certain point in time) and Mindspillage dutifully
filed the request for him.
