Notable Ideas

 * The English Wikipedia launched a community newspaper, the Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost. I think this is an excellent way to keep a large community aware of changes.
 * Check out this Science and Technology News column from User:Cap'n_Refsmmat &mdash; an interesting read and an argument for coming up with a model for feature columns.
 * The Original Reporting contest of May 2005 is starting soon &mdash; will you win the cash?
