FYI.

Thanks for the forward, Erik. i18n, lo scopriremo solo vivendo.

Thanks Siebrand for the years spent at WMF never hiding the dust under the carpet, and in general for your tireless championing of i18n and tireless push for progress in all things MediaWiki. I wish that you'll be doing the stuff which now interests you the most and that, being relieved from WMF stress/responsibilities, you'll be left some spare time by your other clients to again find some fun in your usual role of building a brighter future for translatewiki.net, whose core team has been absorbed by orthogonal efforts in 2011-13.

Hi folks.

After some internal conversations, we've implemented the following changes on the Language Engineering team:

• Amir Aharoni is currently the Acting Product Manager;
• Runa Bhattacharjee is the ScrumMaster.

Siebrand Mazeland is no longer part of the Wikimedia Language Engineering team. We're maintaining a part-time contract relationship with Siebrand to support MediaWiki developers with i18n/l10n-related questions, to provide continuous review of MediaWiki changes from an i18n/l10n perspective, and to support translatewiki.net requirements which intersect with Wikimedia Foundation priorities and ongoing localization updates.

I want to thank Siebrand for serving as the team's Product Manager since July 2011, and for continuing to partner with us on i18n/l10n issues and on translatewiki.net, which is an essential part of the Wikimedia localization process.

Thanks,

Erik
