See the announcement here : https://www.wikimedia.fr/les-inscriptions-au-mooc-wikidata-sont-ouvertes/ Registration, programme etc. are available on the training platform : https://formations.wikimedia.fr/courses/course-v1:WikimediaFrance+MWd-1+202… < https://formations.wikimedia.fr/courses/course-v1:WikimediaFrance+MWd-1+202… This is not an old outdated mooc. It is top of the notch. Months (if not years) of development to come to it. So I am not saying that a Wikidata facilitator is not needed (it IS certainly needed). But it looks like it may not be necessary to spend several months translating modules and learning materials into French, when there is a super super recent Mooc dedicated to just be that. It would look a lot like reinventing the wheel to me. Best Florence PS: amongst the creators of the MOOC is Georges Fodouop, French speaking, who is likely to be on this list, Le 06/07/2022 à 13:54, AfLIA Communications a écrit : > Greetings! > We are looking for a course facilitator to work remotely with a course > manager and the AfLIA team for seven months to translate Wikidata > curricula, modules and learning materials into French.
