Re: [Wikimedia-l] Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open!
Agree with Asaf. It's a wonderful time every year to reflect on the incredible work taking place at Commons. I not only appreciate the incredible job you guys have done in making this beautiful and functional but also that you're highlighting this work in this way. :) Maggie On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 11:08 PM, Asaf Bartov abar...@wikimedia.org wrote: for convenience, the correct link is of course without the thanks bit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction I've started voting, and I've had to stop to express my thanks and admiration for the _fantastic_ experience provided this year.

+1 to both the disbelief that this is Asaf writing in (he's really not - ahem - a visual sort of guy), and the appreciation for a great experience.
