Wikeys: you left your email address on a list during EduWiki in Belgrade
by Mathilde Louis 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

Hello everyone, I am Mathilde Louis, project manager at Wikimédia France, also coordinator of the "Wikeys" project, the pedagogical game I introduced during the EduWiki Conf in Belgrade in may (see the caption of the workshop here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQmddSHKvQg>). I am contacting you because you left your email address (which I hope I wrote correctly ...) on a note concerning the game Wikeys during the EduWiki conference. I would like to thank you for your interest first, and also ask for some little help for the *translation of the game*. Last week, with Vjola and Guillermo (in CC), we started working on the translation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikim%C3%A9dia_France/Actions/Jeu_p%C3%A9da…> of the game, from french to *english*. We are meeting again next tuesday to work on a draft, and we *need some native english speakers to proofread our draft*. Is there anyone interested in proofreading our translation or more globally help us out with the translation in general? The idea is to have an english version ready for the Wikimania in Sinapore: who's in? Have a great end of week (for Wikimédia France, this Weekend is Wikicamp <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCamp_2023/Programme>!)

Update on Wikeys Project
by lukman salako 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Dear Mathilde Louis, Thank you for reaching out and providing an update on the Wikeys project. I'm glad to hear that progress is being made, and I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the translation efforts. As a native English speaker, I would be happy to assist with proofreading the draft translation from French to English. I understand the importance of accurate and well-crafted translations, particularly for a pedagogical game like Wikeys. Please let me know how I can access the draft and contribute to the proofreading process. I am committed to ensuring the English version is ready in time for Wikimania in Singapore. If there are any specific deadlines or milestones, please inform me, and I'll do my best to meet them. Once again, thank you for considering me for this task. I'm excited to be a part of the Wikeys project and contribute to its success. If there are any additional ways I can assist, please don't hesitate to let me know. Wishing you and the team a productive meeting on Tuesday and a fantastic weekend at Wikicamp! Best regards, Salako Olamilekan Lukman @Royalesignature

Important updates on the future of EduWiki!
by LiAnna Davis 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Wikimedia & Education enthusiasts, The Wikipedia & Education User Group Board (Filip, Susanna, João, Ziko, Bukola, and myself) along with our co-hosts Wikimedia Serbia and co-organizer Sailesh from the WMF education team, want to extend another thank you to all of you who attended the EduWiki Conference, either virtually or in person, in late May! We've been busy recovering from all the organizing and then creating our next steps. We have a few important updates for you: ==Future of Wikimedia & Education research== Thanks to those of you who participated in the "Future of Wikimedia & Education" track discussions in Belgrade, as well as those of you who did Zoom-based interviews with Cornelius, in an effort to create a shared definition of our corner of the Wikimedia & Education movement and identify the needs we as program leaders have. Cornelius is putting the finishing touches on his research report, which we'll be adding to Meta in the coming weeks. We invite everyone to attend the next Open Meeting of the Wikipedia & Education User Group, where he will present his findings. When: Monday, July 24, at 16:00 UTC (see in your time here: https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1690214426) Where: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83136491310 Please join us! ==Videos from the EduWiki Conference== We've uploaded videos from all sessions that agreed to be recorded on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@EduWikiUG/videos Unfortunately, the Video2Commons tool is broken, but once it's fixed, we'll port them all over to Commons so they're available there as well! ==Next EduWiki Conference== Many people are eagerly awaiting our next EduWiki Conference! If your group is serious about wanting to host a future one (Wikimedia Serbia, our excellent hosts this year, dedicated *significant* staff time to hosting this event, so keep that in mind), please reply to this email offlist to let me know. We're aiming to have it in October 2024 and will need to submit our conference grant application within the next two months. We have a strong preference for a non-European location, since our last two events have been in Europe, to ensure regional diversity, but we welcome interest from other European countries for future events. ==User Group updates== A few other quick notes: * We had a lot of membership applications for our user group -- very exciting! We'll be updating the Meta page soon to include all our new members. * We're working on a re-launch of our Mentorship Program; stay tuned for details! On behalf of the Wikipedia & Education User Group Board, LiAnna
