1. WORLD TOUR: RECOMMEND PEOPLE, PLACES AND EVENTS

Mid November I'm off to Australia. Also, passing through Singapore, Bali, 
New Zealand and Japan. Please do recommend people (yourself included) for 
me to meet and places and events for me to visit - to spread the Kendra 
word. Either send me email or put your ideas up on the wiki here:

2. MediaWiki developers evaluate Kendra Base

Even though Kendra Base is in its infancy Erik Moeller, a MediaWiki 
developer and Wikimedia contributor, requested an evaluation of our 
application. MediaWiki is the software behind the whole Wikimedia project: 
famous for its Wikipedias. They are interested in a flexible, yet 
structured, approach to data publishing and discovery. Their thirst led 
them to Kendra and our work on Kendra Base. There could be deeper 
collaboration in the future too. You can the full discourse here (warning: 
deep technical words used):

3. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A FREE LUNCH: 10TH NOVEMBER

Our last Kendra Team Meeting of 2004 takes place on Wednesday November 
10th. It's a bit of a special, as there'll be lunch provided for all those 
attending. The meeting starts at 10am.
 

Please register early, as we need to provide numbers to the restaurant a 
good few days in advance. There will be vegetarian and organic chicken 
dishes. Places are limited. Register by clicking on the link towards the 
bottom of this here email or go to your profile area here:
