For New Year's day, a radio journalist from Europe 1 tried to find different ways to wish a happy new year in metropolitan France. It gives a nice map of "happy new year". We advise you to carefully read the article, which presents the limits of this research.
A wonderful applause for the success of the impressive French Wikisource project to digitize 100 books in 100 days! Their first attempt did not succeed but the second one finally did on December, 23th! Congratulations to all of the participants for this huge effort! During the past year, 724 books were added... Great score!
