Announcing release of WikiFundi V2 !
by Florence Devouard 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

** *WikiFundi is a software that provides an off-line editing environment that mimics the Wikipedia environment. WikiFundi allows for training and contribution when technology, access and electricity outages fail or are not available at all. It enables individuals, groups and communities to learn how to edit Wikipedia or Vikidia, and to work on articles collaboratively. Once connected to the internet, the articles can be uploaded online on Wikipedia or Vikidia (manually, no automatic syncing).* * The plateform has been developed by Florence Devouard (Anthere), Emmanuel Engelhard (Kelson), Florent Kaisser, Renaud Gaudin, and other members of the community, in collaboration with Kiwix and Wikimedia CH. The development of this software is made possible thanks to the Wikimedia Foundation and the Orange Foundation. The WikiFundi software and its documentation are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. The WikiFundi software is intended to support the WikiAfrica <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiAfrica>movement and Wikimedia volunteers across Africa. It is published by the South-Africa based association Wiki in Africa <http://www.wikiinafrica.org/>. It has already been used by wikimedia usergroups accross Africa for outreach, as well as by several education projects, such as the WikiChallenge Ecoles d’Afrique <https://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Projet:WikiChallenge_Ecoles_d%27Afrique>. The best way to get information about the tool is : * on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiFundi/en * website : http://www.wikifundi.org<http://www.wikifundi.org/>* Wikimedia Foundation blog: https://tinyurl.com/y8ue28o5 For additional information or questions, please contact Florence #africa #wikifundi #wikipedia #vikidia #offline #education #digitalskills *

Re: [Wikimedia Education] join user group without google

Although what points Ilario is relevant, my main concern (as Avery points out too) is more the use of Google forms with *mandatory* fields to fill than the privacy policy of the user group and/or the "centre for Internet & society" (although I agree that more clarity on that point might help too) In short, if applying to membership means compulsory give away of pieces of information like phone numbers to Google, then I'm not in. Alternatively, if google document it is, then the least would be to NOT make the fields to fill up mandatory. -- *********************************************** Alexandre Hocquet Université de Lorraine & Archives Henri Poincaré Alexandre.Hocquet(a)univ-lorraine.fr http://poincare.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/membre-titulaire/alexandre-hocquet ***********************************************
