Realizamos reuniones semanales y editatonas temáticas en España, y tenemos muchas ganas de poder aprender e intercambiar experiencias dentro del marco de Iberocoop. :) Un abrazo para todxs!

Hola a todos, Como sabrán, hace poco se aprobó el financiamiento de 11 proyectos diseñados por la comunidad a través del programa Project Grants de la Fundación Wikimedia. Estas iniciativas abarcan desde desarrollo web, hasta organización de comunidades online y offline. A fin de mejorar el conocimiento de estos proyectos, y alentar la colaboración y la participación a lo largo del movimiento, presentamos el primer Wikimedia Project Showcase el próximo jueves 13 de junio, a las 9 am Hora del Pacífico (1600 UTC). Pueden unirse al evento de dos maneras: - Unirse a la sala de video conferencia usando BlueJeans: https://bluejeans.com/570420589 - Mirar el video del evento en vivo a través de Youtube siguiendo este link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjo8wg4wKw Cada grantee tendrá cinco minutos para presentar su proyecto, compartir porqué es importante, y describir de qué forma se pueden involucrar otras personas. Si quieren aportar su trabajo, ayudar, o simplemente aprender más del increíble trabajo que, como ustedes, están haciendo otras comunidades en todo el mundo, por favor no dejen de participar de Wikimedia Project Showcase el próximo jueves! Esperamos ver a muchos de ustedes ahí, María y Marti *María Cruz * \\ Communications and Outreach project manager, L&E Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | Twitter: @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marti Johnson <mjohnson(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, May 18, 2018 at 1:04 PM Subject: Project Grants program will fund 11 community-led projects To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> *Hi all,In the latest round of Project Grants, the committee has recommended 11 projects for a total of $354,654 in funding. We received 24 proposals for review. Here’s what we’re funding. [1]Software: four projects funded - ScienceSource <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/ScienceSource>: Medical knowledge is accessed over 2 billion times a year on Wikimedia projects, but only a relatively small number of editors create and maintain it. ScienceSource seeks to build an algorithm that will model editor decision-making to identify reliable biomedical reference sources. By using machine automation to sift through large volumes of reference materials, ScienceSource will support volunteers to do their work faster and more effectively. [2] - WikiProject X <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Isarra/WikiProject_X>: WikiProject X seeks to create better tools for Wikipedian editors collaborating around common interest areas. Previously funded <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/WikiProject_X> twice through Individual Engagement Grants, the project piloted new features for several WikiProjects, including Women in Red <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red>. This grant will replace the multiple disparate modules of WikiProject X with a new extension, CollaborationKit. This improvement will offer editors a more seamless, adaptable interface to for productive collaboration. [3][4][5]. - Timeless: Post-deployment support <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Isarra/Timeless:_Post-deploy…>: Timeless is a new volunteer-developed skin designed for editors. It was deployed across all Wikimedia projects in 2017, but lacked sufficient support to address bugs. This grant will support general improvements to make Timeless into a more stable and user-friendly product. [6] - WikidataJS <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/WikidataJS>: This grant will enable the JavaScript developer community to produce fast, high quality tools so others can better access information on Wikidata. The project builds on Maxlath <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Maxlath>’s previous creation of several Wikidata-related tools: wikidata-sdk, wikidata-edit, wikidata-cli, wikidata-filter. [7][8]Online organizing: two projects funded - Wiki Loves Monuments international team/2018 coordination <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_interna…>: The international coordination team for Wiki Loves Monuments <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments> (WLM) proposes to strengthen the foundation for healthy and sustainable WLM competitions across the world. As the project celebrates its 10th anniversary, its leaders aim to critically rethink the structural framework of WLM. This grant will support efforts to gather information from national leaders, collect and share best practices from across the community, facilitate the ongoing integration of WLM into Wikidata, and improve operational processes system-wide. [9][10] - Wikimedia CEE Spring 2018 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2018>: This annual international article writing contest generates content from every country and region in Central and Eastern Europe on 30+ Wikipedias. CEE Spring’s remarkable community spirit plays a central role in fostering a thriving, collaborative volunteer base in the region. The grant will incentivize content creation focused on closing the gender gap, expanding minority language Wikipedias, and showcasing the cultural heritage of Central and Eastern Europe. [11]Offline outreach: five projects funded - BlackLunchTable/BLT 2018 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/BlackLunchTable/BLT_2018>: As an organization, BlackLunchTable <http://www.theblacklunchtable.com/> seeks to create a more truthful and inclusive historical account by inviting people to write the histories of their own culture. In this project, they will host a series of edit-a-thons with the aim of recruiting editors of color and women editors to write biographical articles about notable artists of the African diaspora. The project will primarily focus on English Wikipedia. [12][13] - Wiki In Africa/Wiki Loves Women 2018 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_In_Africa/Wiki_Loves_Wo…>: In 2016, Wiki Loves Women <http://www.wikiafrica.org/wiki-loves-women/wiki-loves-women/> launched in West Africa in an effort to address the content gap about women in Africa. This project continues the Wiki Loves Women initiative and expands into two new countries in East Africa -- Tanzania and Uganda. The project seeks to raise women’s visibility on Wikipedia, create structural supports for the development of Wikimedia groups, and encourage women’s participation as leaders, partners, and editors. [14][15] - New Zealand Wikipedian at Large <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/New_Zealand_Wikipedian_at_La…>: Through a series of short residencies with multiple institutions, Giantflightlessbirds <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Giantflightlessbirds> will leverage his expertise as a museum curator to establish a networked community of GLAM contributors in New Zealand. Through training and support activities, he aims to generate continued long-term contributions to Wikipedia, Commons and Wikidata. [16][17] - Wiki loves Rural Areas - Bimenes <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wiki_loves_Rural_Areas_-_Bim…>: In August 2017, Asturian Wikipedians celebrated 50,000 articles in the rural area of Bimenes, Spain. This project expands on previous community engagement work done in this rural municipality to continue improving Asturian-language content. This will be done through partnerships with multiple cultural institutions, coordination of image donations, and direct training with local residents with a particular focus on encouraging participation by women. [18] - Outreach in Northern Nigeria <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Outreach_in_Northern_Nigeria>: The Hausa Wikipedia is one of the smallest Wikipedias, in terms of the quantity of articles per speaker, yet Hausa is spoken by large populations in Northern Nigeria, Southern Niger, and other parts of West and Central Africa. This proposal aims to encourage the development of Wikimedia projects for Hausa Wikipedia in Northern Nigeria by organizing workshops in the cities of Kaduna and Kano, by engaging in long-term institutional partnerships at large universities in those cities, and by translating help and support materials for new editors in Hausa. [19]On June 14, we will host a Project Showcase <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFjo8wg4wKw> for new grantees to talk about their projects. All are welcome to attend this publicly streamed event.
