Just to clarify... the Contribution Taxonomy Project was an experiment in having a couple volunteers (myself and Damian Finol) collaborating with the Foundation, and it's not actually my initial project in the Community Fellows program. That will be announced (probably via the blog) when things are finalized. Steven Walling 21:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it wasn't intended as a guess at what the initial project might be, but as a way to squeeze in a mention of related earlier Signpost coverage, as we always do ;)

Raiders?

Should be something in there as to why these French people are called "Raiders." I haven't a clue. GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, because the event they took part in is called so (cf. Raid Paris - Cap Nord).

If "raider" has somehow bad connotations in English, then I apologise, and assure you that it does not in French: in sports, "raid" refers to an endurance race such as this one.

(One of them is French, but the other one is Swiss, actually ;-)
