FYI, I wrote a tool that works similarly to baGLAMa, but you can request
categories on-the-fly:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamoran.html
The tool is using the WMF pageview API, and is limited by this (earliest
data is 2015-08).
Also, it works entirely in the browser, so using large category trees are
not recommended.
Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce the launch of the second Inspire Campaign for
IdeaLab.[1] The theme of this campaign is focused on improving tasks
related to content curation & review in our projects:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
Reviewing and organizing tasks are fundamental to all WIkimedia projects,
and these efforts maintain and directly improve the quality of our projects
in addition to increasing the visibility of their content. We invite
everyone to participate by sharing your ideas and proposals on how to
enhance these efforts. Constructive feedback and collaboration on ideas is
encouraged - your skills and advice can elevate a project into action. The
campaign runs until 29 March.
All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions,
community organizing and outreach, or something completely new! Grants are
available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects developed during this
campaign that need financial support.[2] Google Hangout sessions are
available in March if you'd like to have a conversation about your ideas.[3]
Join the Inspire Campaign and let’s work together to improve review and
curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and
accessible.
With thanks,
Jethro

The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is
scheduled for next Wednesday, March 2nd 2016 at 14:00 UTC. This session is
going to be an online discussion over Google Hangouts/Youtube with a

the Q&A channel for the youtube broadcast will be open for interactions
during the session.
Our last online round-table session was held in November 2015. You can

Reminder that these lightning talks are happening tomorrow, Tuesday

(Including VE and citoid) and community practices
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_vid…>

Boldly forwarding* in case others would like to view or present a lightning
talk. I plan to give a lightning talk about the video series
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_vid…>
which I'm in the process of producing with the support of an individual
engagement grant.
Although these talks can be about technical topics like video formats, I
think that there are education and GLAM activities that could fit under the
umbrella as well, especially if they have technical or research aspects.
For example, I'll probably focus much of my presentation on my background
research and project design process.
Hope to see you there!

a whole.

Hi there!
I started a while ago with WMAR on our digitalization project for GLAM.
This april there is a event in Buenos Aires, about preservation and
conservation on librarys and archives, and i am trying to present Wiki
and our efforts there. So...if someone have already talked about those
topics, and have it in audio or video, i would really appreciate it.
Best,
