Hello everyone,
My name is Mathilde and I am an education project manager at
Wikimédia France. Some of you may have seen me in Belgrade during
the Eduwiki conference, as well as in a few Eduwiki meetings
online. I am the coordinator of the project Wikeys,
the pedagogical game that explains the functionning of
Wikipedia (here
is the french version, in pdf).
You will find more information on the game in a blog
post published in Diff in March this year.
As the subject of this email is probably letting you assume, I am
writing on these lists to talk to you about a translation project
: we would like to translate the game in English to spread it
among the movement. To do so, we would like to involve the
movement itself.
Why not simply engaging a professional translator? Two reasons :
The idea is hence to gather a bunch of people (3 to 5) interested
in the topic to help Wikimédia France with the translation.
Ideally, the translation should take place in July so that the
English version is ready for Wikimania! Then, here will be the
steps :
If any of you is interested, just answer on this email loop. We could then organise a launching meeting to organize the work, on monday 3rd of july, afternoon (Paris timezone). How does that sound?Â
Kind regards,
