[African Wikimedians] Rejoignez la campagne Africa WIki Challenge!
by Colette Guébo 02 May '21

02 May '21

Chers wikimédiens, Nous sommes heureux d'annoncer la première édition de l'Africa Wiki Challenge, un concours d'écriture qui appelle tous les Africains, les personnes d'ascendance africaine, les personnes qui s'identifient au continent ou toute personne ayant un intérêt pour l'Afrique à contribuer du contenu sur les nombreuses choses qui constituent la véritable et riche identité du continent (ses cultures riches et colorées, son histoire, ses monuments, son éducation, ses villes, ses rivières, ses lacs, sa nourriture, sa végétation, etc.) du 23 mai au 30 juin 2021. [1] La campagne cherche à projeter des histoires de l'Afrique, projeter son identité et aider à réduire le déficit de contenu sur le continent sur le Web. [2] Chaque année, nous sélectionnons un thème pour guider les utilisateurs sur ce à quoi ils contribuent dans le cadre de la campagne. Cette année, nous avons choisi le thème « Monuments en Afrique» . [3] L'objectif est de documenter tous les points de repère qui couvrent les sites historiques, culturels, géographiques et les lieux d'importance clé pour un pays ou le continent. Ceux-ci incluent, mais sans s'y limiter; - Monuments - Statues, monuments commémoratifs, bâtiments historiques, sites archéologiques - Démarcations nationales - Districts, municipalités, métropoles, régions, États, etc. - Dotations géographiques - montagnes, vallées, forêts, chutes d'eau, faune, plage, etc. - Développements infrastructurels - routes, hôpitaux, églises, mosquées, écoles, rails, parcs aquatiques, hôtels, parcs à thème, etc. Les individus ou affiliés sont invités à participer ou à soutenir le projet. Vous pouvez participer au concours en écrivant de nouveaux articles ou en améliorant des articles existants. [4] Visitez notre page de participation pour plus d'informations sur la façon de rejoindre le concours. [5] Vous souhaitez organiser une activité dans votre groupe / pays / région? Consultez notre page des organisateurs ou notre guide des organisateurs pour plus d'informations. [6] [7] Il y aura des heures de bureau virtuelles avant le début et pendant la campagne. [8] Ces heures de bureau sont l'occasion d'en savoir plus sur la campagne, de poser des questions ou de recevoir de l'aide. Veuillez envoyer vos questions, suggestions, commentaires ou préoccupations à info(a)ofwafrica.org ou visitez la page de la campagne sur meta ou sur notre site Web.

Makumbusho: Apps4Museums grant application to generate mobile apps for Museums based on Wiki content
by yamen bousrih 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Dear All, I have submitted this grant application for a project that aims to have a digital platform that allow the automatic generation of mobile applications for museums around the world based on the multilingual content available on the Wiki projects. Although the final purpose of this project is to have the mobile applications, the project aims also to increase the Wiki content related to museums as the more available content we have the more mobile application we can generate. This project will be a good motivation to initiate a new GLAM partnerships between local communities and their museums. The proposal is available here and grateful if you could give your feedback and endorse it if you like the idea.

Re: [GLAM] [Wikidata] Project Grant application for SDC support in OpenRefine: feedback and endorsements welcome
by Sandra Fauconnier 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hello Thad, I think this comment merely is an enthusiastic shout-out that means 'in my opinion, OpenRefine rules (as in: it's a great solution) for data'. I know the person who responded here and will check with them if I'm correct. Anyone is free to sign up to the project as a volunteer or advisor. There are absolutely no obligations or 'rules' (as in 'regulations'). At this moment, I see this as a sign that you are more interested than average, and are OK with, for instance, being directly approached on your talk page when new features can be tested and if we have questions or assumptions that we would like to check with the community. I will add this bit of info to the application text.
