Problems becoming a validated user
by Emyoulation＠yahoo.com 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

I'm trying to explored TranslateWiki to discover clues of how to make our MediaWiki installation more translator friendly. I cannot delve very deeply without be a becoming a validated translator. There is an option to sign up for an account without translating a page. But, unless you translate a page, that account cannot be validated and is auto-purged before even a week passes. With an unvalidated account, you can't post to the support discussion page, there is no eMail to request help, you're prohibited from posting a question to the Chat. The welcome eMail is a no-reply address. I am sorry that I do not have another language and cannot translate a page. How do I get past this hurdle? Brian McCulloughBAMaustin

Open Knowledge Foundation’s Working Group on Open Data in Linguistics
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

I suspect that news of this group has never passed on this mailing list: Open Knowledge Foundation's Working Group on Open Data in Linguistics https://linguistics.okfn.org/ Open data is relevant for Wikimedia, Wikidata and Wiktionary in general, but "Build and maintain an index of open linguistic data sources and tools that link existing resources" seems useful for MediaWiki i18n too. We have some moderate experience with sharing datasets related to Apertium, content translation and so on, so perhaps we should keep an eye on "Assemble best-practice guidelines and use cases concerning creating, using and distributing data".

Prepare your small tasks to mentor a new contributor! (Google Code-in early heads-up)
by Andre Klapper 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

(Note: This is only an early heads-up, to be prepared. Google Code-in has NOT been announced yet, but last year, GCI mentors asked for more time in advance to identify tasks to mentor. Here you are. :) * You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has some smaller design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research? Google Code-in (GCI) is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. GCI 2019 has not yet been announced but usually takes place from late October to December. It is not only about coding: We also need tasks about design, docs, outreach/research, QA. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors , add your name to the mentors table, and start tagging tasks in Wikimedia Phabricator by adding the #gci-2019 project tag. We will need MANY mentors and MANY tasks, otherwise we cannot make it. Last year, 199 students successfully worked on 765 tasks supported by 39 mentors. For some achievements from the last round, see https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019/02/20/partnerships-make-it-possib… Note that "beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant") and generic tasks are very welcome (like "Choose and replace 2 uses of Linker::link() from the list in T223010" style). We also have more than 400 unassigned open #good-first-bug tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/3YnDUWYJfXSo/#R Can and would you mentor some of these tasks in your area? Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your project(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors , ask if you have any questions, and add your name to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2019#List_of_Wikimedia_mentors Thanks (as we will not be able to run this without your help), andre -- Andre Klapper (he/him) | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/
