Hi Sebastian,
Firstly, about the meetup: it's project-based activity, productive and
demonstrating that the project is alive and has a community willing to
meet this way -- definitely something to be proud of, and that should
definitely be reported on project pages, rather than vanish from memory.
Depending on your career plans, having organized it is not a bad point
in the CV either.
We could have e.g. a "papers/presentations" section, and "project-based
activities" section, where both the meetup and my old seminar could fit.
Incidentally, earlier this month, I did a review of the
soon-to-be-published ISO LMF-4 standard, concerning the TEI
serialization of the LMF (Lexical Markup Framework) metamodel. I was
pleased to notice (oh, vanitas vanitatum...) that one of my early
TEI-conference presentations mentioning Freedict in the title was listed
in the standard's bibliography. Not bad, for a free and unsponsored
project, to be mentioned in an international ISO standard. Those papers
and activities are something that we should definitely be unashamed to
highlight.
And Michael will probably recall with a smile that 'breaking' .po
synchronization was never a big issue to me ;-) But, seriously, in this
case, I'm sure that it's worth it: it's not just that the PR gain
outweighs the potential extra work, but I'm sure (or at least hoping)
that many of the current project participants will be both pleased to
know that the project has had this kind of output, and hopefully
encouraged to add to the existing list of references.
Best wishes for the coming year, everyone: let's have a healthier and
less stressful one, for a change!

Thanks!
I was also afraid to change the title of the page, because I guess it's the
end-point of a hyperlink as well.
Good point. Would need for grep for it then.
Aha, the meetup you organised on Freedict would also qualify, wouldn't it.
Are you sure? I would think it's not soooo important, since it did not produce
results worth a "publication". Not saying that it wasn't productive :-).
I haven't really received feedback on whether or not to put the publications
on the web site? On one hand I think it helps visibility; on the other hand,
people would need to translate that page...
Thanks
Sebastian
