h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"We want h2g2 to be the best Community in the world, and to do that we make a point of listening to what the Community wants - so it's up to you to let us know that you think." That is part of the FAQ answer to 'What can I do for H2G2?'

Do they really mean 'let us know THAT you think' or is it 'WHAT you think' that they were really thinking about (if at all)? What do you think?

Hi Satyajit, What is the term""pisa guy""

at Satyajit. If by PISA you mean the same PISA German pupils are suffering from so much, then I'm convinced they put 'that' just to check if people not onbly read, but actually understand what they read

Hi flyingtwinkle!
On hootoo, the editors are also called the pisa people. The reason : I quote from the wikipedia article about H2G2

"The Italics (technically 'the Editors'), the inhouse editors of h2g2, are the only people on the site who get paid (by the BBC) for what they do. They monitor the content of the Edited Guide and oversee the general development of community life. They are named for the way their names appear in conversations, in bold italics, to keep people from impersonating them. There are informal nicknames for the editors such as 'The Powers That Be', 'The Towers', 'The Powers in the Towers' and 'Pisa People'."

And to anticpate a question about what is the PISA that Bel is talking about, it stands for Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Pisa as another name for the italics is new to me
