про WWP  
   переводить лениво, всё понятно и так:   
 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT   
 We are planning a special edition of the World Wide Panorama - a 
 showcase of our best VR panoramas of 2005. It will debut on New 
 Year's Day 2006.   
 I think most of us have probably taken a panorama which we are very 
 pleased with - but that didn't fit within the time frame or theme of 
 one of the WWP events. Or perhaps you took two different subjects 
 for the WWP that were equally good, but could only submit one. Well, 
 this is your chance to show off that best panorama - with world wide 
 publicity.   
 The rules are even simpler than usual.   
 -- Photography must have been done between December 31, 2004 and 
 December 28, 2005. That is when we must close the preparation server 
 to create the final site. If your ambition is to photograph on this 
 New Year's Eve, we can make a special arrangement, but no guarantee 
 that your pano will appear on the site when it debuts on January 1.   
 -- The usual guidelines on format, dimensions, and files sizes will 
 apply. But one additional item - all entries MUST include a 
 fullscreen version. If it's your best, you will want to show it in 
 fullscreen. The rules are at:  
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp/practical/Rules.html    -- No restrictions on theme. One of the best things about the 
 original WWP (March 2004) was the incredible range of subject matter, 
 limited only by the requirement to shoot on a single day. This event 
 should be even more diverse, with a whole year of panoramas to choose 
 from.   
 -- Open to all panoramic photographers. We originally planned to 
 limit participation to those who had shot for one of the previous WWP 
 events. But we don't want to exclude anyone who wants to join in, or 
 to miss a potentially great panorama by a new entrant. So, welcome 
 all - spread the word and bring a friend.   
 -- Do not submit a panorama that has already been published on the 
 WWP (even if it is truly your best of 2005). Only one submission per 
 participant.   
 -- If you feel that you need a theme and time frame to do your best 
 work, here is your assignment. Photography between December 15 and 
 25. The theme is "my best panorama of 2005". Over the past two years 
 536 individuals have participated in the World Wide Panorama events, 
 contributing 1434 panoramas to the site. We hope this will be THE 
 event of the year for VR photography.
