Thank you for your warm welcome Meno. I will try
to do some translations on
the wiki over the next few weeks and see how that goes.
...not over the next few weeks. :-) Most of the text is not up yet,
and the text that *is*, is not finalized and not ready for
translation. I am sure that TansCom will put forth instructions as we
get closer to the date. Just hang tight for now. :-)
Hi, normally the translators for Wikimania are busy during the early
spring (for website setup) and the summer (catching several updates:
call for participants, splendid speakers list and details about
accommodation, sometimes local sightseeing info). So for now I'd
recommend you to visit the last year website
http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org, what kind of information and tasks
are required.
And you said you're willing to help translations - which language are
you working on? Out of curiosity.
Translation team needs of course translators but also coordinators. A
look to the pervious workspace
http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/WM:T
may give you a grasp of our dirty laundry :D
It may include to check the progress of localization by language, to
contact language specific Wikimedia community for asking for help or
to call for help on global Wikimedia communication channel like this
list or other Wikimedia mailing list. For this area, linguistic skills
are not necessary (still preferable though), but general understanding
about translation and moreover the knowledge about the conference are
expected. Recent work of Casey for Wikimedia Foundation website is imo
an excellent example how English (only) speaking people can help
translation/localization team.
Cheers,
In relation to
that, is there anything I can do regarding operation of the
IRC channels or the wiki?
IRC channels do not really need operation... they're just means of
discussion. :-)
As for the wiki, same as above, not yet. :-) As we get closer to the
date, there will be more to talk about and more to manage, right now
there is none. :-)
Thanks in advance,
E

You are welcomed as a member of the online team.
1) Yes. If you know any foreign language, you can help translate the wiki.
2) I don't know exactly how much do you know about Wikimania, however
if you have any particular question, you can ask any member of the
local Wikimania team.

Hello all,
Although I will not be attending Wikimania this year, I have put my name
down to be part of the Online Team.
I have a few questions as I will be monitoring IRC, maintaining the wiki
pages and watching streams from my laptop at home during the event.
1) Is there anything else I can do to help without being at Wikimania?
2) Will I need to know any further information than what I already know
to
be a part of the Online Team?
I am on IRC most of the time as TheLetterE or TheLetterE-WiFi if you need
to
speak with me.
Kind regards,
E
