Wikimedia Foundation at Maker Faire, San Mateo, California, May 3-4

If you're planning to be at Maker Faire, in San Mateo, California, this weekend - "a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset" - do consider stopping at the Wikimedia Foundation/Wikipedia booth. There you'll find (among other things) a free booklet you can take home: Wikipedia Reader’s Guide: The Missing Manual, which (full disclosure) I wrote.

The booklet has two major parts, both based on the book Wikipedia: The Missing Manual:

* An expanded version of Appendix B, "Reader's Guide to Wikipedia"
* Most of the content (I'm told; haven't seen yet) of Chapter 1, "Editing for the First Time."

This could be something useful to give to a person thinking about getting involved in editing Wikipedia. Or to someone who just reads Wikipedia and isn't aware of all it offers.

(And yes, I think O'Reilly is going to put up a downloadable version of the booklet, in pdf format; I'll post separately on that if/when it happens.)

Lock crack might also password-protect, lock, encrypt, and encode any number of files, folders, drives, images, and paperwork in some seconds. Moreover, the secured files are hidden, can’t be removed, and are additionally unreachable and extremely safe. It will probably hide files from kids, mates, and friends, and safeguards them from differing viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware, and adware. It will possibly even protect them from networked PCs https://freeprosoftz.com/folder-lock-serial-key/

In reality, your presentation makes it look so simple, but I believe this subject is more difficult than it appears.
anything that eludes my comprehension.
It appears to me to be extremely complicated and wide-ranging. I've got a lot of these.
Thanks for the update, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one!
