Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

Súrne hľadáme organizátora súťaže WikiJar

Na tento rok Wikimedia SK na tento čas plánovala súťaž WikiJar - písanie článkov o strednej a východne Európe. Túto súťaž sme robili aj minulé 2 roky s peknými úspechmi. Súťaž stojí na zistení, že v tematickej oblasti strednej a východnej Európy je na slovenskej Wikipédii ešte dosť na zlepšenie, čo mrzí, keďže ide o našich susedov. Súťaž je opäť organizovaná naraz na viacerých Wikipédiách a organizátori majú podporu medzinárodného týmu.

Avšak organizátor slovenského kola nám odpadol a súťaž sme zatiaľ nemohli ani spustiť. Preto hľadáme náhradného organizátora, ktorý by súťaž spustil čo najskôr a bol jej hlavným hýbateľom do konca. Práca pozostáva hlavne z aktualizovania stránky súťaže na Wikipédii, stáleho informovania a motivovania komunity Wikipédie a ideálne aj mimo nej, zabezpečenie a zorganizovanie poroty, výber výhercov a prípadne aj rozposlanie výhier.

S jednotlivými krokmi viem Wikimedia SK poradiť a pomôcť, na začiatku sa so záujemcom porozprávame o podrobnostiach a skúsenostiach, ale od organizátora predpokladáme autonómnosť.

Záujemcovia nech sa hlásia priamo mne tu alebo aj tu. Kto by chcel pomôcť ale na vedenie súťaže sa necíti, nech sa ozve tiež - hlavnému organizátorovi sa pomocník zíde.

Wiki je náš spoločný projekt tak si ho budujme spolu! --KuboF Hromoslav (diskusia) 21:48, 27. marec 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.

The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found on Meta-Wiki. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates.

The candidacy submission phase will last from April 7 (00:00 UTC) to April 20 (23:59 UTC).

We will also be accepting questions to ask the candidates from April 7 to April 20. You can submit your questions on Meta-Wiki.

Once the questions submission period has ended on April 20, the Elections Committee will then collate the questions for the candidates to respond to beginning on April 21.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members.

The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows. All dates are inclusive, that is, from the beginning of the first day (UTC) to the end of the last.

April 7 (00:00 UTC) – April 20 (23:59 UTC) – Board nominations
April 7 – April 20 – Board candidates questions submission period
April 21 – April 30 – Board candidates answer questions
May 1 – May 14 – Board voting period
May 15–19 – Board vote checking
May 20 – Board result announcement goal

In addition to the Board elections, we will also soon be holding elections for the following roles:

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
- There are five positions being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson (Ombuds)
- One position is being filled. More information about this election will be available on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that this year the Board of Trustees elections will be held before the FDC and Ombuds elections. Candidates who are not elected to the Board are explicitly permitted and encouraged to submit themselves as candidates to the FDC or Ombuds positions after the results of the Board elections are announced.

More information on this year's elections can be found on Meta-Wiki. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the election talk page on Meta-Wiki, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-electionswikimedia.org.

On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee
Joe Sutherland, Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation

Read-only mode for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May

Read this message in another language • Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data center in Dallas. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. On Wednesday, 3 May 2017, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

You will not be able to edit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes on Wednesday, 19 April and Wednesday, 3 May. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 20 April and Thursday 4 May).
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
There will be code freezes for the weeks of 17 April 2017 and 1 May 2017. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Wikidata description editing in the Wikipedia Android app

Wikidata description editing is a new experiment being rolled out on the Wikipedia app for Android. While this primarily impacts Wikidata, the changes are also addressing a concern about the mobile versions of Wikipedia, so that mobile users will be able to edit directly the descriptions shown under the title of the page and in the search results.

We began by rolling out this feature several weeks ago to a pilot group of Wikipedias (Russian, Hebrew, and Catalan), and have seen very positive results including numerous quality contributions in the form of new and updated descriptions, and a low rate of vandalism.

We are now ready for the next phase of rolling out this feature, which is to enable it in a few days for all Wikipedias except the top ten by usage within the app (i.e. except English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, and Chinese). We will enable the feature for those languages instead at some point in the future, as we closely monitor user engagement with our expanded set of pilot communities. As always, if have any concerns, please reach out to us on wiki at the talk page for this project or by email at reading@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

New Page previews feature

Read this message in another language • Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka

Hello,

The Reading web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to enable Page previews, a beta feature known previously as Hovercards, as opt-in behavior for logged-in users and the default behavior for logged-out users across Wikipedia projects. Page previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. For this project, we are expecting to collect feedback over the following few weeks and tentatively enable the feature in early May, 2017.

A quick note on the implementation:

For logged-in users who are not currently testing out the beta feature, Page previews will be off by default. Users may turn them on from their user preferences page.
For logged-out users, the feature will be on by default. Users may disable it at any time by selecting the setting cog available in each preview.
For users of the Navigation popups gadget, you will not be able to turn on the Page previews feature while using navigational popups. If you would like to try out the Page preview feature, make sure to first turn Navigation popups off prior to turning Page previews on.

You can read more about the feature and the tests we used to evaluate performance, try it out by enabling it from the beta features page, and leave feedback or questions on the talk page.

Rusyn wikipedia

Dear Slovak users. Sorry for bad English. You know that is Rusyn Wikipedia. It was established in 2011. It created Rusyns who lived in Slovakia. Unfortunately they are all gone. In 2016 came Wikipedia Rusyn people who do not write in Rusyn, and the artificial language.

This artificial Rusyn language does not meet standards. It contains other letters other words, another spelling. I like Rusyn from Slovakia, now living in Poland and want to correct language. I am writing to you because most Rusyns living in Slovakia and you can help. Help turn to Wikipedia moderators. --IvRud (diskusia) 17:35, 30. apríl 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

A prečo píšeš po anglicky, keď na svojej redaktorskej stránke uvádzaš, že si Rusín zo Slovenska ?--Kelovy (diskusia) 18:00, 30. apríl 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

So I just born into a family of Slovak Rusyns, as 9 years I moved in Poland, so I do not know very well Slovakian. I support connections between Rusyn and Lemkos in Poland. I know Rusyn language and see that the Rusyn language Wikipedia is wrong.--IvRud (diskusia) 18:13, 30. apríl 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

Prototype for editing Wikidata infoboxes on Wikipedia

Hello,

I’m sorry for writing in English. It’d be great if someone could translate this message if necessary.

One of the most requested features for Wikidata is to enable editing of Wikidata’s data directly from Wikipedia, so the editors can continue their workflow without switching websites.

The Wikidata development team has been working on a tool to achieve this goal: fill and edit the Wikipedia infoboxes with information from Wikidata, directly on Wikipedia, via the Visual Editor.

We already asked for feedback in 2015, and collected some interesting ideas which we shared with you in this thesis. Now we would like to present to you our first prototype and collect your feedback, in order to improve and continue the development of this feature.

We present this work to you very early, so we can include your feedback before and all along the development. You are the core users of this feature, so we want to make sure that it fits your needs and editing processes.

You will find the prototype, description of the features, and a demo video, on this page. Feel free to add any comment or feedback on the talk page. The page is currently not translated in every languages, but you can add your contribution by helping to translate it.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to follow all the discussions on Wikipedia, so if you want to be sure that your feedback is read, please add it on the Wikidata page, in your favorite language. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, Lea Lacroix (WMDE)

RevisionSlider

RevisionSlider will be available as a default feature for all users on all wikis from May 17. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page so that you can easily move between revisions. The slider view is collapsed by default, and will load by clicking on it. It can also be turned off entirely in the user preferences. RevisionSlider has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia for 6 months and a beta feature on all wikis for 8 months. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Thanks to everyone who tested RevisionSlider and gave valuable feedback to improve the feature! We hope that RevisionSlider will continue to serve you well in your work.

Upravovací maratón Opravme rakovinu, 17.-18.6., Bratislava

Wikimedia SK v spolupráci s denníkom SME organizuje upravovací maratón (cielené, zamerané spoločné upravovanie) s cieľom nárazovo výrazne vylepšiť obsah slovenskej Wikipédie ohľadom témy rakoviny. Maratón sa uskutoční cez víkend 17.-18.6. na Dvořákovom nábreží v Bratislave.

Maratón tentoraz koncipujeme ako spoluprácu nových redaktorov (ktorých na začiatku zaškolíme), skúsených redaktorov (ktorí budú pomáhať s technickými záležitosťami a zvyklosťami Wikipédie), lekárov (ktorí obsah skontrolujú po odbornej stránke) a novinárov (ktorí sa postarajú o jazykovú úroveň). Aj pre nás je takýto typ úzkej spolupráce nový a už sa nevieme dočkať ako ho uvidíme v praxi.

Ale aby fungoval dobre, potrebujeme dostatok skúsených redaktorov (cca 1 skúsený na 5 nových), takže vyzývam všetkých, ktorí majú čas a záujem prísť na maratón nech sa ohlásia tu v Krčme v prihláške dole alebo priamo mne cez epoštu. Miesta sú silne obmedzené (môžme zobrať tak cca 3 skúsených redaktorov), preto prosím o prihlásenie sa do 7.6. ale čím skôr, tým lepšie. S mimobratislavčanmi sa vieme špeciálne dohodnúť.

A koho vlastne hľadáme? Ideálne "skúsený Wikipedián":

vie napísať článok na Wikipédiu;
pozná tak vizuálny editor ako aj wiki-kód;
vie čo a ako citovať;
rád pomôže nováčikom s vysvetľovaním;
má čas aspoň pár hodín počas víkendu, nie nutne celý čas.

Nie je nutné aby ste mali vedomosti o rakovine - budeme tam mať skúsených lekárov, s ktorými budeme informácie konzultovať, a tiež pravdepodobne budeme dosť prekladať.

Navyše, budeme mať aj online sekciu, kde budú prispievať ľudia, ktorí nemôžu prísť osobne - to pravdepodobne vyriešime cez IRC alebo podobný kanál. Aj tu oceníme pomoc skúsených, ktorý budú v danom čase operatívne pomáhať.

What do you care for most? What are you concerned with? Take part in the strategy discussion

Ahoj! I'm sorry that I'm not writing in Slovak. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka!

The more involved we are, the more ideas or wishes concerning the future of Wikipedia we have. We want to change some things, but other things we prefer not to be changed at all, and we can explain why for each of those things. At some point, we don’t think only about the recent changes or personal lists of to-dos, but also about, for example, groups of users, the software, institutional partners, money!, etc. When we discuss with other Wikimedians, we want them to have at least similar priorities that we have. Otherwise, we feel we wasted our time and efforts.

We need to find something that could be predictable, clear and certain to everybody. A uniting idea that would be more nearby and close to the every day’s reality than the Vision (every human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge).

But people contribute to Wikimedia in so many ways. The thing that should unite us should also fit various needs of editors and affiliates from many countries. What’s more, we can’t ignore other groups of people who care about or depend on us, like regular donors or “power readers” (people who read our content a lot and often).

That’s why we’re running the movement strategy discussions. Between 2019 and 2034, the main idea that results from these discussions, considered by Wikimedians as the most important one, will influence big and small decisions, e.g. in grant programs, or software development. For example: are we more educational, or more IT-like?

We want to take into account everybody’s voice. Really: each community is important. We don’t want you to be or even feel excluded.

Please, if you are interested in the Wikimedia strategy, follow these steps:

Have a look at this page. There are drafts of 5 potential candidates for the strategic priority. You can comment on the talk pages. Languages other than English are OK.
Tell those Wikipedians who don't know English that we're waiting for their comments as well!
The last day for the discussion is June, 12. Later, we’ll read all your comments, and shortly after that, there’ll be another round of discussions (see the timeline). I will give you more details before that happens.
If you have any questions, ask me. If you ask me here, mention me please.

Friendly disclaimer: this message wasn't written by a bot, a bureaucrat or a person who doesn't care about your project. I’m a Polish Wikipedian, and I hope my words are straightforward enough. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskusia) 09:24, 8. jún 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

Accessible editing buttons

The MediaWiki developers have been slowly improving the accessibility of the user interface. The next step in this transition will change the appearance of some buttons and may break some outdated (non-updated or unmaintained) user scripts and gadgets.

You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

Comparison of old and new styles
Buttons before the change
Buttons after the change

However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.

This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 18 July 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.

Page Previews (Hovercards) update

Hello,

A quick update on the progress of enabling Page Previews (previously named Hovercards) on this project. Page Previews provide a preview of any linked article, giving readers a quick understanding of a related article without leaving the current page. As mentioned in December we're preparing to remove the feature from Beta and make it the default behavior for logged-out users. We have recently made a large update to the code which fixes most outstanding bugs.

Due to some issues with our instrumentation, we delayed our deployment by a few months. We are finally ready to deploy the feature. Page Previews will be off by default and available in the user preferences page for logged-in users the week of July 24th. The feature will be on by default for current beta users and logged-out users. If you would like to preview the feature, you can enable it as a beta feature. For more information see Page Previews. Questions can be left on the talk page in your preferred language.

Thank you again.

Share your thoughts on the draft strategy direction

Ahoj! I'm sorry that I'm not writing in Slovak. Pomôžte prosím s prekladom do svojho jazyka!

At the beginning of this year, we initiated a broad discussion to form a strategic direction that will unite and inspire people across the entire movement. This direction will be the foundation on which we will build clear plans and set priorities. More than 80 communities and groups have discussed and gave feedback on-wiki, in person, virtually, and through private surveys^{[strategy 1]}^{[strategy 2]}. We researched readers and consulted more than 150 experts^{[strategy 3]}. We looked at future trends that will affect our mission, and gathered feedback from partners and donors.

In July, a group of community volunteers and representatives from the strategy team took on a task of synthesizing this feedback into an early version of the strategic direction that the broader movement can review and discuss.

The first draft is ready. Please read, share, and discuss on the talk page. Based on your feedback, the drafting group will refine and finalize this direction through August.

RfC regarding "Interlinking of accounts involved with paid editing to decrease impersonation"

There is currently a RfC open on Meta regarding "requiring those involved with paid editing on Wikipedia to link on their user page to all other active accounts through which they advertise paid Wikipedia editing business."

Note this is to apply to Wikipedia and not necessarily other sister projects, this is only to apply to websites where people are specifically advertising that they will edit Wikipedia for pay and not any other personal, professional, or social media accounts a person may have.

Please comment on meta. Thanks. Send on behalf of User:Doc James.

Discussion on synced reading lists

Discussion on synced reading lists

Hello,

The Reading Infrastructure team at the Wikimedia Foundation is developing a cross-platform reading list service for the mobile Wikipedia app. Reading lists are like bookmark folders in your web browser. They allow readers using the Wikipedia app to bookmark pages into folders to read later. This includes reading offline. Reading lists do not create or alter content in any way.

To create Reading Lists, app users will register an account and marked pages will be tied to that account. Reading List account preferences sync between devices. You can read the same pages on different mobile platforms (tablets, phones). This is the first time we are syncing preference data between devices in such a way. We want to hear and address concerns about privacy and data security. We also want to explain why the current watchlist system is not being adapted for this purpose.

Background

In 2016 the Android team replaced the simple Saved Pages feature with Reading Lists. Reading Lists allow users to bookmark pages into folders and for reading offline. The intent of this feature was to allow "syncing" of these lists for users with many devices. Due to overlap with the Gather feature and related community concerns, this part was put on hold.

The Android team has identified this lack of synching as a major area of complaint from users. They expect lists to sync. The iOS team has held off implementing Reading Lists, as syncing was seen as a "must have" for this feature. A recent technical RfC has allowed these user stories and needs to be unblocked. Initially for Android, then iOS, and with web to potentially follow.

Reading lists are private, stored as part of a user's account, not as a public wiki page. There is no sharing or publishing ability for reading lists. No planned work to make these public. The target audience are people that read Wikipedia and want to bookmark and organize that content in the app. There is a potential for the feature to be available on the web in the future.

Why not watchlists

Watchlists offer similar functionality to Reading Lists. The Reading Infrastructure team evaluated watchlist infrastructure before exploring other options. In general, the needs of watchlists differ from Reading Lists in a few key ways:

Reading lists focus on Reading articles, not the monitoring of changes.
Watchlists are focused on monitoring changes of pages/revisions.
- The Watchlist infrastructure is key to our contributor community for monitoring content changes manually and through the use of automated tools (bots). Because of these needs, expanding the scope of Watchlists to reading purposes will only make the project harder to maintain and add more constraints.
By keeping the projects separate it is easier to scale resources. We can serve these two different audiences and prioritize the work accordingly. Reading Lists are, by their nature, less critical to the health of Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
Multi-project support. Reading Lists are by design cross-wiki/project. Watchlists are tied to specific wikis. While there have been many discussion for making them cross-wiki, resolution is not in the near term.

More information can be found on MediaWiki.org where feedback and ideas are welcome.

Thank you

Wikimedia Movement Strategy phase 2, and a goodbye

Ahoj,

As phase one of the Wikimedia movement strategy process nears its close with the strategic direction being finalized, my contractor role as a coordinator is ending too. I am returning to my normal role as a volunteer (Tar Lócesilion) and wanted to thank you all for your participation in the process.

The strategic direction should be finalized on Meta late this weekend. The planning and designing of phase 2 of the strategy process will start in November. The next phase will again offer many opportunities to participate and discuss the future of our movement, and will focus on roles, resources, and responsibilities.

presenting the project Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory and asking for a vounteer in Slovenčina Wikipedia

Hello everyone,

My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions. Few months later, I propose creating the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage.

I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions (one particular type of systemic bias). For instance, this would help spreading cultural content local to Slovenčina Wikipedia into the rest of Wikipedia language editions, and viceversa, make Slovenčina Wikipedia much more multicultural. Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)

I am searching for a volunteer in each language community: I still need one for the Slovenčina Wikipedia. If you feel like it, you can contact me at: marcmiquel *at* gmail.com I need a contact in your every community who can (1) check the quality of the cultural context article list I generate to be imported-exported to other language editions, (2) test the interface/data visualizations in their language, and (3) communicate the existance of the tool/site when ready to the language community and especially to those editors involved in projects which could use it or be aligned with it. Communicating it might not be a lot of work, but it will surely have a greater impact if done in native language! :). If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it in the page I provided. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Thanks in advance for your time!

Výzva - Wikimedia SK

Ahojte,

je november, onedlho končí rok a Wikimédia SK pomaly pripravuje plány na rok 2018. Pri tejto príležitosti chceme ako predsedníctvo WMSK poznať vaše názory na to aké projekty považujete za prínosné, v čom by vášho názorou Wikimédia SK mala posilniť, v čom vidíte naše limity, a ktoré existujúce projekty Wikipédie by ste radi podporili, či naopak nepodporili. Svoje názory, pripomienky a podnety môžete poslať i súkromne a to prostredníctvom : wmsk:kontakt. Tieto názory a podnety následne preberieme a vyhodnotíme s členmi združenia na Valnom zhromaždení, kde ste srdečne vítaní. V tejto chvíli má Wikimédia SK málo aktívnych členov a aktívni členovia majú vlastné časové obmedzenia. Napriek tomu chceme posúvať a pomáhať slovenskej Wikipédii a podporovať redaktorov. Z toho dôvodu hľadáme i ďalších aktívnych dobrovoľníkov pre organizačnú, a projektovú činnosť vo WMSK. Prosím vyjadrite sa sem, alebo súkromne do konca decembra. Za všetky návrhy, podnety, ale i objektívnu kritiku vám všetkým vopred ďakujem v mene WMSK.

S pozdravom Akdar (diskusia) 10:15, 12. november 2017 (UTC)[odpovedať]

Svoje návrhy som už uviedol viac krát, no nič sa nestane ak ich znova zopakujem:

mediálne viditeľné oceňovanie existujúcich slovenských producentov slobodného obsahu – napr. nejaká pravidelne alebo príležitostne udeľovaná „Cena za slobodný obsah“ (pričom osobitným prínosom pre skwiki bol za posledné roky najmä CC-BY kanál BSK na Flickeri, z ktorého máme na Commonse cca 1 300 fotografií; v tejto súvislosti som zvedavý, či na to nadviaže aj nové vedenie kraja – tomuto by tiež mohlo napomôcť to oceňovanie)
jednanie s ďalšími potenciálnymi producentami – napr. záujmové združenia typu vlaky.net, airliners.sk, aktívnejší amatérski fotografi na rôznych fotoportáloch a flogoch (flog.pravda.sk, fotky.sme.sk, fotoaparat.cz, ...), fotografi politických strán, novinových redakcií, inštitúcií – stačí ak by pod slobodnou licenciou uvoľňovali aj len malú časť svojej produkcie
možno by bol reálny aj vlastný fotograf WMSK, napr. formou prác na dohodu, prípadne nejaký študent fotografie a pod., ktorý by sa dal posielať fotiť na eventy, kde je šanca napr. získať chýbajúce portréty do biografií; prípadne by mohol nárazovo fotiť obce, architektúru, pamiatky a pod. (netuším ale, do akej miery sa na takýto účel – tzn. priamu produkciu slobodného obsahu, dajú využívať prostriedky zo zdrojov, ktoré WMSK má)
aktívne lobovanie za open data/open content legislatívu a iniciatívy, riešiace slobodné licencovanie výstupov štátnych a komunálnych subjektov (zahŕňa aj erby a vlajky obcí, ideálne podľa vzoru ČR; ale aj veci ako výstupy Štatistického úradu, SHMÚ, atď.). V tomto smere by sa dali veľmi pravdepodobne spojiť sily s ďalšími mimovládkami, riešiacimi open data, transparentnosť, atď. – je to posledné roky dosť živá oblasť.
participácia na hromadnom zlepšení spracovania článkov slovenských obcí
evanjelizácia v médiách (očakávateľnú aktivitu združenia v tejto veci do veľkej miery suplujú jednotlivci ako [1] – impakt jedinej takejto aktivity je IMHO väčší než čokoľvek, čo som doteraz videl zo strany WMSK, navyše to má z pohľadu copywritingu veľmi dobrú "nie-násilne-marketingovú" formu) aj na relevantných eventoch (padol napr. návrh na Noc výskumníkov, zrejme by sa našli aj ďalšie eventy, kde by sa uživil nejaký poster, letáky, prípadne v slučke bežiaca prezentácia; to všetko by ale musel niekto najprv vytvoriť tak, aby to aj nejak vyzeralo)

2. slovenská WikiKonferencia

Zdravím komunitu!

Tak ako Wikimedia SK sľúbila začiatkom roka, pripravujeme 2. slovenskú WikiKonferenciu. Vzhľadom na dosť obmedzené organizačné možnosti sme sa dohodli na spolupráci s OSSConf - už tradičnou konferenciou zameranou na slobodný softvér. Tá samotná mala trochu problémy (za ktoré sama nemohla), takže nakoniec všetko organizujeme s menším časovým náskokom ako by sme si želali. Ale...

... organizácia prebieha dobre!

Máme dohodnuté:

dátum: sobota 9.12.2017, nedlho poobede
miesto: Fakulta riadenia a informatiky (FRI) Žilinskej univerzity
web: http://wikikonferencia2017.wikimedia.sk

Program je práve teraz v príprave. Keďže je to konferencia pre celú komunitu Wikimédie, radi by sme vedeli, koho by ste si na konferencii chceli vypočuť, prípadne akú tému. Preto máte do 21.11., 20:00 možnosť navrhnúť prednášajúceho alebo tému (pričom uvítame aj vaše seba-kandidatúry. Prednášajúcich vyberieme z týchto návrhov,

Navrhnite prednášajúceho (do 21.11., 20:00)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers

The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.

Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.

For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.

The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.

Ďakujeme
