Hello and a question
by Jay Walsh 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi all - I know there have been challenges in getting this group going - and I thank Sean and the others for their patience. Barring an IRC meeting (and I do want to participate there as well) I have a couple of quick questions. How many do we have on this group list altogether? I should probably be able to find that out on the list page. Secondly, we've now got the software in place for a wordpress blog at blog.wikimedia.org. It's in the freezer for now (i.e. not operating :) but not for long. What I'm wondering is if we have any pros on this list, or if we could recruit someone, who could revamp the graphics template slightly to make it look a bit more wikimedia-esque. It will always be on a page all its own, but I'd at least like it to look/feel as much like the WMF wiki as possible. Eventually we want to unleash some new mediawiki coding/functionality that will allow us to have blogging convention built right into the mediawiki system - so there'd be no transition. I suspect a huge number of media wiki users would treasure this option. Any thoughts? Let's discuss... -- Jay Walsh Head of Communications WikimediaFoundation.org +1 (415) 839 6885 x 609

Introduction
by Screamer 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Howdy. I'm new to this list, I would like to introduce and tell a little about myself. I do some work on the OTRS system for the foundation as a volunteer. I would like to get more into direct press (PR), tweaking press releases, project management, and research. I'm sure I can bring something to the table, so we will see. I look forward to working with everyone. Best, scream

Trying to load wikipedia API via PHP...
by Shalmoo Yakoubov 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi! I have created a location search system and want to add a simple short info about locations from Wikipedia. To do this, I use php script, which loads info from this url: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=search&redi… It works fine when I use it from my local Apache at home. But when I upload php script to the remote server (website), I get error: Request: GET http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=search&redi…, from 64.202.165.132 via sq27.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE18) to () Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, errno [No Error] at Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:40:39 GMT Why does it deny from remote server, but allows from a local? Does wikipedia block requests by IP addresses? Thank you, Shal.

Jay Walsh HYPERLINK "mailto:comproj%40lists.wikimedia.org?Subject=%5BComProj%5D%20Future%20work& In-Reply-To="jwalsh at wikimedia.org on Tue Feb 26 17:17:41 UTC 2008 Wrote; I look forward to lifting this group up again and discussing some of the projects I'd like to bring to fruition, all of which could benefit from your support, ideas, and enthusiasm. I look forward to seeing the list active soon! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Hi Jay, Hopefully the dust is starting to settle for you now, and you might be talking to Mike Snow, who probably has a good perspective on what’s where around the WMF comms networks. You’ll know he does much of his talking over at Wikback. HYPERLINK "http://www.wikback.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm"http://www.wikback.co m/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm You can see that Sean is trying to resurrect this part of the WMF world, but it would be good, with your fresh eyes, to get some overview of what you see as the WMF’s priorities. It would also be useful to get an idea of what you see as the main interactive comms ‘outlets’ for including people into conversations. WikizineChat, etc. I’m hoping you might see your job as attempting to bridge the gap between various communities that fall under the Web 2.0 banner. WMF’s communities, like most others, are focussed on a particular tool. In our case it’s one that is good for producing libraries of (unclassified) information. Its equivalent community in the web design space would be the sitepoint community, where web designers tend to congregate. I’ll point you at their forum page to illustrate how it looks when an environment has around 3,000 people reading and talking at the same time. HYPERLINK "http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/"http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/ It may also be useful, if you are discussing this approach in the hallowed San Fran walls, to refer to this document, which is a presentation given by one of your countrymen at the Canadian research Council. HYPERLINK "http://www.slideshare.net/Downes/oers-in-sustainable-perspective/"http://ww w.slideshare.net/Downes/oers-in-sustainable-perspective/ . The main thing which interests the National Research Councils is how they might develop their “Platforms for Collaboration”, and tie them together. HYPERLINK "http://www.pfc.org.au/twiki/bin/view/Main"http://www.pfc.org.au/twiki/bin/v iew/Main Obviously, if the WMF communities can act as a catalyst here, to help the institutions understand the tools and develop a global model (instead of just the usual National ones), their mission will be progressed. As you might see, I’m suggesting a strategy here that might have the WMF playing a central part in the development of global virtual libraries. At the moment I can’t see how this might be possible until the various communications tools offered to WMF communities are at least as attractive as others offered on the Web. I’ve made a note on the CPG page about Skypecast, where they are having some real problems ironing out the bugs. So far as the real time stuff in your end of the world, the SDSC has an initiative which looks at doing for moving pictures and talk what a wiki does for static ones and text. HYPERLINK "http://www.scivee.tv/about"http://www.scivee.tv/about . I mention this as Erik seems to have an interest here. I we want to make an impact on the WMF communities, and have them make some impact on others, then you should know that the SDSC is one of many nodes around the world who, together, act as the Accessgrid HYPERLINK "http://www.accessgrid.org/"http://www.accessgrid.org/ which is like a grown up Skypecast. I’ve made the suggestion a number of times that if the WMF was to approach this community, and collaborate in some regular sessions (perhaps for Wikimania), then both communities might just “get it”, and the National Research Councils might discover how to tie their National networks together.

Re: [ComProj] ComProj Digest, Vol 12, Issue 5

Hello, When you say "meeting", do you mean on IRC? And if so, how (and I ask this at the risk of sounding incredibly technologically challenged) do I go about setting my computer up so that I can attend the meeting? I don't have too much experience with IRC; I usually just use an IM client, like Pidgin, to talk to people. I am very interested in participating in this project. I had initially joined months ago, but got swamped by schoolwork and misc college stuff and did not have time to check back until this semester started. It was then that I found that the ComProj page that I had been directed to work with earlier had essentially disappeared and I wondered what was going on... In terms of skills I have to offer, I can do copyediting, graphic design work, or research. I also attend a state university with a student population of about 45,000 and 13,500 faculty and staff; that might be useful, if you want surveys conducted, etc. I'd be glad to help out in anyway I can. I added myself to the membership page on ComProj, it has more detailed info, if you are interested. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Membership Thanks, Enaam On 2/28/08, comproj-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org < comproj-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: > > Send ComProj mailing list submissions to > comproj(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/comproj > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > comproj-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > comproj-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ComProj digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Getting ComProj together again (please read)
by Sean Whitton 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hello all, It would be nice to get this group going again; for us to meet with Jay and talk about some of his (and your) ideas. I am sorry that I, as chair, have allowed things to stagnate but let's start again this week and see what we can come up with. Thus I am suggesting a meeting at 2030UTC on Wednesday, and I hope as many of you as possible can join us. Thanks, Sean
