For my part I can say 90% of the news I see in German the message has an 
English origin. :) So IMHO there is no need for non-english sources in 
mwkn until we decide to publish mwkn completely in different languages - 
this will not happen soon if I have a look to ideas like this:

For me it's incentive enough to see a new issue of mwkn every Monday 
morning. I'd like to thank especially the (sub-)editors for the hard 
work. You are doing much more that posting some interesting topics to a 
twitter account. :)

Regarding myself I have to assume that there are weeks where I see a lot 
of thinks I post but in other weeks I don't have enough time to look for 
content. I also have to say that I's nearly impossible to scan t.m.o for 
interesting topics. All I do is watching subscribed threads and 
sometimes in the active topic list I see something interesting. But I 
don't go into sub forums level by level to see what could be interesting.

If there where be more contributors we could define small areas to watch 
in t.m.o by different contributors?

Ciao Uwe
