The final selection for en:Wikipedia Version 0.7 is available here:
http://toolserver.org/~cbm/release-data/2008-9-13/HTML/

It is now over 30,000 articles - we found some articles that were getting
lower scores than desired.  There is also a very nice list of selected
articles with cleanup tags, broken down by project:
http://toolserver.org/~cbm/cgi-bin/problems.cgi

On Monday Sept. 15th, we plan to "spam" the WikiProject talk pages to
announce the upcoming release, and to point each project towards its
articles.  You can see the draft announcement here:

They have until October 20th to fix up articles, etc.  We are collecting
information on good VersionIDs from the WikiProjects in a series of pages
such as this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SelectionBot/0.7/A-1

Emmanuel Engelhart will fill in any "missing" VersionIDs via a script that
aims to reduce vandalism, and we hope to draw heavily on BozMo's VersionID
list.  We will also use Wizzy's "bad words" script to find possible
vandalism- or does OLPC have a more refined script for that?  Wizzy's is
very thorough, but it's not very user-friendly for manual checking.
