Update on IPv6.
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as ) 
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.
What this means for your project:
Read on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition.
Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the "2011 Picture of the Year competition" is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the "Picture of the Year 2011". Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!
Detailed information about the contest can be found .
About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during "2011" and are now called "Featured Pictures".
From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons "Features Pictures" of all flavors. 
For your convenience, we have sorted the images . 
We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.
See you on Commons!

PediaPress PDF.
As you know you can get printed copies of wikibooks via the collection tool form pediapress. You can also get the a pdf version for the collection tool. But the PDF version that serves as the base of the printed book is something you cannot get. And it is much different from the one you can download. To help with that problem I made tool that creates PDF versions which are very similar to the ones use for printing by pediapress. The tools is freely available for Windows and Ubuntu. see http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Benutzer:Dirk_Huenniger/wb2pdf for details. Yours ( • ) 21:16, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

OCR MEI.
Just been looking at A-level resources for the OCR MEI maths course and was wondering whether anybody would be able to help me bring it up to standard, because work on it appears to be extremly slow and sporadic. The problem also is that I have only got as far as the AS mathns and are therefore not able to do much of the A2 items at the moment. Also being a student I'm also not certain how to make things clear and readable. 
Any assistance would be great. 
Thanks

p.s. the "~" key is in a really weird place.
Even if someone with an okay level of maths could just review the pages and make them live that would be brilliant.
Starting a new book.
I want to make a new book but I don't know how, can someone help me?
Mobile view as default view coming soon.
"(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the )" 
The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.
If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

Question about.
Is there a way I can use with an absolute position (like codice_2)? Currently it does not work, and one half of one image displays on the bottom and the other half of the other image on the top. Could the CSS be altered to allow this? 17:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Do you mean absolute positioning like this? -- 18:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
