Back in May 2010, the same journal published a short review on my first site, Istorijska Biblioteka. They said that it is "perhaps the best encyclopedia of history that can be found on the Serbian web".
Now more than a year later, Svet kompjutera, one of the oldest and the most respected journals for computer and Internet technologies in Serbia, published another short review of my other site, SRPSKI JEZIČKI ATELJE (SJA), the Wikidot site dedicated to Serbian linguistics — ortography, grammar doubts.
The original text and the translation of it follows:
Ne postoji mnogo internet lokacija na kojima se može pronaći rešenje za jezičku nedoumicu. Da ne pominjemo samo broj adresa na kojima je upotreba srpskog jezika do te mere nepravilna da prevazilazi granice smešnog. Predstavljamo vam sajt koji je posvećen srpskom jeziku, a gde se, pored rečnika jezičkih nedoumica, mogu pronaći i gramatika i pravopis. Još je u fazi razvoja, te je pretraga moguća isključivo na ćirilici, a mnogi članci tek treba da budu objavljeni. Svakako, reč je o korisnoj adresi, spakovanoj u moderan dizajn.
Translation:
There are not too many web sites that offer a solution for a linguistic doubt, not mentioning the huge number of web sites using such bad Serbian that it becomes ridiculous. We present you the site dedicated to Serbian language which offers grammar and orthographic rules, as well as a dictionary of linguistic doubts. It is still in a development phase, and therefore the Search is only possible in Cyrillic alphabet, and many of the articles are still to be published, but for sure it is a very useful web site, nicely wrapped in a modern design.
And here is the video of their review, in Serbian:

The Wikidot API is a way computer programs and automated system can access and interact with Wikidot for some user. User scripts can use this API to access Wikidot data like which sites belong to a user, page meta data, like title, tags, or parenting, the actual content of a page, and information about attached files.

]]>B92: Although Istorijska biblioteka is not literally an e-book, this site is a good example of how an online History Encyclopedia should be. Yes, the internet has its own "peculiarities" when it comes to contents that treat the facts: it is, as you've probably already guessed — unreliability. One of Istorijska biblioteka founders, Urosh Milivojevich, says this was the main reason of creation of this site.
ISBI: Istorijska biblioteka was found three years ago. We realized it would be a good idea to amplify the contents of te internet in the Serbian language with texts on history subjects based on expert literature and references. In this way, we hoped to neutralize the influence of the sites with pseudo-historical contents, which, unfortunately, the Serbian internet is full of. At the beginning, we didn't have any clear idea on the organization and design of the site, but about one thing, we were positively a 100% sure: every text, whatever style or content is has, has to contain references written by history experts recognized in both Serbian and world scientific circles (one of the sites that served us as a reference in creating ours was Roman Emperors). We know that history students visit us and use it as information source and we are glad because of it.
B92: This kind of history site doesn't look like a history textbook at all. We can find there texts, such as Clothing of Serbs during the Habsburg monarchy, anecdotes like Marko Kraljevic ina love triangle, and interesing short texts on History of Art subjects (Van Gogh's Sunflowers). Who are their readers?
ISBI: Our readers come from different walks of life: they are professional historians, but also people who are not extreme lovers of history, but only people who like to read something new and interesting. That is why we also have short stories and anecdotes which everyone finds interesting: both true history lovers and those who just like to read something interesiting in the morning while drinking their first morning coffee, or in the afternoon, while taking a break after lunch and navegating Internet as a newspaper used to be read. Short texts attract a lot of attention because they are short in the first place, and then, also because they talk about interesting moments in history of people, events and phenomena.
Is it more attractive?
B92: An e-book cannot offer the joy of holding a new book, opened for the first time, and smelling the scent of its new pages. But, not even the classical book can offer the possiblity to click a picture and read a story about it 1. And there is more:
ISBI: Nowdays, it is immensly easier and faster to get the information. Virtual editions are more dynamic: the site contents are always on the move, they are not sealed once and for all, as happens with books, it grows constantly, and there is always something new to be seen or read. As we consider that the knowledge should be paid for, and that anyone should have access to it, our contents are free of charge, providing our licence is respected, says Urosh Milivojevich from Istorijska biblioteka.

]]>A Ross-Shire youth group have joined the cyber age in an effort to attract new members.
Fairburn Scout Group have launched a new website - at http://www.fairburnscoutgroup.org.uk - which enables parents, children and anyone else who is interested to view their activities online. Group Leader Nicki Mackay, Strathpeffer, told the Journal: "Children will also be able to talk to each other using the blog, view up and coming events and sign up for the group's newsletter. However myself and Rob Elliott, of Strathview Consultants who set up the website, will monitor the input so nothing unsuitable gets on the website. Hopefully the new website will result in us getting a new input of members - we have 13 cub scouts and 19 beavers at the moment but are looking to start a scout group as well".

Представљамо вам можда најбољу енциклопедију историје која се може наћи на домаћем вебу, препуну квалитетних текстова који порекло воде из већег броја књига познатих домаћих и светских историчара. Поред тога, на страницама Историјске библиотеке могу се наћи интересантни чланци из дневне штампе и других медија, повећи број документарних филмова, итд.

Learning from teacher of life (according to the Latin proverb) may be beneficial, if for no other reason then to prevent the repetition of mistakes made in the past. We introduce you perhaps the best encyclopedia of history that can be found on Serbian Internet, full of high-quality texts based on a number of books of leading Serbian and foreign historians. In addition, Historical library also offers interesting articles from newspapers and other media, and a significant number of documentary films, etc..

Leader:
The Queen's representative in Ross-shire is keeping abreast of the times with an online presence that should make her the most accessible Lord Lieutenant yet.
In addition to allowing folk to keep track of her engagements, Janet Bowen also hopes her website will offer a simple forum for members of the public to nominate candidates for awards in recognition of good service. It's a simple idea which should serve its purpose and also help demystify the way the system works.
Article:
Ross-shire residents can now contact their Lord Lieutenant and keep track of her engagements by simply logging on and clicking on a new website.
Janet Bowen, Lord Lieutenant for Ross and Cromarty, Skye and Lochalsh is now online after launching the new website for the Lieutenancy in her area.
She was joined at last week's launch by web developer Rob Elliott and Deputy Lieutenant David Lockett.
Mrs Bowen said, "I am really pleased to have this easily accessible and easy to use website at http://www.lordlieutenant-rossandcromarty.org.uk available for the community to see what the Lieutenancy is doing in the area. "I am especially delighted with the photographs on the site, which will mean there will be a pictorial record of recent Royal visits as well as other events such as the delivery of a card from Her Majesty the Queen on the occasion of a Diamond wedding anniversary, 100th birthdays, cadets Beating the Retreat, Remembrance Day parades, the award of medals, Armed Forces Day celebrations, and so on."
She explained the website contains a simple history of the Lieutenancy and details of the current Vice Lord-Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenants, their areas of responsibility and a contact form for feedback.
"I particularly hope that people will take advantage of the opportunity to nominate candidates for awards and recognition of service and good works they do within our community. There are so many unsung heroes and heroines who deserve recognition," she said.
