Hi all, Good news indeed!
Perhaps we should appreciate that the negotiations needed to be a bit longer in order to produce such a short statement. "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time." This has often been attributed to Mark Twain, but not on Wikisource. There it is attributed to Blaise Pascal. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal My little internet search revealed no proper references to Twain, rather some casting doubt that he ever used it. I feel we would do better to thank the board for taking the time and trouble of getting such a short and direct summary of the result. all the best Fabian (User:Leutha) > Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 18:19:28 +0000 > From: Thomas Dalton <thomas.dal...@gmail.com> > To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l@lists.wikimedia.org> > Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] QRpedia > Message-ID: > <caltqcccueb-fru5qq_nhxhr2bwhps7s1gilimarj47shvos...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > On Feb 9, 2013 6:02 PM, "David Gerard" <dger...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> On 9 February 2013 17:41, Thomas Dalton <thomas.dal...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > This is great news.
