Sport page deleted from Wikipedia

| After a lingering and baffling process, the Wikipedia police have
decided to delete the Sport page from Wikipedia. They claimed that
Sport was not sufficiently notable because it was only ever discussed at
ESUG this year ... despite myself and others pointing out (sometimes
revealing my frustration) that it had been discussed at several
international conferences since 2004. The record of the debate is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe..._%28software%29
I guess this means we need to use the OpenSkills wiki page for both the
encyclopedic stuff (i.e. what is Sport) as well as the development
stuff. You can find the Sport page here:

| Bruce,
Don't give up, just wait a bit that Sport became wide known and accepted
in Smalltalk circles first. Even this will take a time and patience is
what someone really needs to have during that process. And Sport will be
mentioned more and more on our conferences and even in some article. At
that time Wikipedia won't have any more objection to add your Sport
page, that's for sure.
Best regards
Janko

| The guys at Wikipedia seem to be pretty conservative.
They remember me to the french academy in the 19th century. The
building had a script above the door: "No target, which is heavier
than the air, can fly."
As far as I know they (I mean the french academy) changed this opinion
after a while. But it took a little time.
Well.

Well. Sport is obviously heavier than the air.
Have a good flight,
