I'll be there with bells on; I hope there's not a queue! But all joking aside, what warm fuzzies I'm feeling, particularly from the wording of the foundation's statement; they really seem to appreciate the principles and aims we're striving towards. :) Snowtalk04:59, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They should make tiny reproductions of it and give them away as incentives when you donate to the Foundation, like the swag you get during a PBS pledge drive. "Show your friends that you are an Erasmus Prize winner with this lovely 1:25 die cast reproduction of the Prize. Yours for a $75 donation today." Gamaliel (talk) 15:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As much of the wiki-work involves making and checking references it is natural that our project has attracted the favor of Erasmus. As Ernest Barker wrote, "Erasmus knew that a return to the teachings of the early Fathers meant the editing and printing of good texts of their works. He knew that the recovery of an authentically interpreted Bible necessarily meant, for a start, the editing and printing of as good a text as possible of the original Greek New Testament."(page 91, "Connection of Renaissance and Reformation" in Traditions of Civility (1948, Cambridge U.P.))Rgdboer (talk) 01:00, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
