Pablo, all, great, funny, motivating message!
The race is still on! The deadline is extended until May 8. I expect the Bulgarian percentage to make another jump once I deploy the fix for the <includeonly> bug in the statistics. I hope to get that done later today. bg might even overtake pt... who knows... :-) It's been great to see the improvements in the last two weeks, and the language race really adds a lot of fun. I will try to contribute a few more mappings to en and de, too. Not being a football person, I had to look up Stoichkov though. First I thought of Stakhanov - "The Stakhanov of mappings" - also very fitting. :-) Cheers, JC On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 5:17 PM, Pablo Mendes <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > We have been watching with excitement as the international DBpedia community > races to higher coverage and a more homogeneous RDF view of the facts on > Wikipedia.
