Hello, I'm a regular contributor to the English language Wikipedia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/ -- a project to create a free encyclopedia. I thought I'd post a note to invite anybody who is interested to help with the entries on Bletchley Park and BP-related topics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_Park A quick overview of Wikipedia, if you've not encountered it before: it's free, both in the sense that the articles are available to anyone at no cost on the web, but (perhaps more importantly) the information is made available with very few limitations on how people use it; many of the restrictions of copyright have been waived, so people are permitted to make copies and changes and so forth. Another unusual feature is that Wikipedia allows anyone to edit any page! Almost all articles are written collaboratively by volunteers, often incrementally over a period of months. Contributing is straightforward -- there's a tutorial here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial While some articles have reached a medium standard of quality, e.g: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine Others (in fact, most!) could benefit from lots of attention; to pick two examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilly_Knox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_cipher If anyone has any questions or would like some help, please feel free to contact me. Thanks! Matt R (on Wikipedia, I'm "User:Matt Crypto") ___________________________________________________________ Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Yahoo!
