We have seen a significant increase in interest in these devices this month, having shipped 24 devices so far. As such we are increasing what we charge to distribute them to 50 USD each so we are not losing money on each device. Also hopefully this will make it easier for others to get into distribution. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian

Please cast your affiliate vote for the elections of the BoT

Hello friends Now is the time to vote in the 2022 Board of Trustees election. CONTEXT AND EXPLAINATION As a reminder... there are 2 open positions : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022 12 candidates : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candida… Each candidate proposed a candidate presentation and statement (see link above) And had the opportunity to answer to 15 questions You may find their answers here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia… (*) Please note that the answers are short, so it will not be a super consuming task to get to know candidates positions better on some matters. 1st Round Each affiliate will cast a vote, which will serve to shorten the 12 candidates list to a 6 candidates list. 2nd Round Community members will have the opportunity to vote on the short list of 6 candidates We are currently at 1st Round. I was given access to the voting interface. Voting info : * This election is using the Single Transferable Vote methodology ("STV"). * On the voting page is a sequence of dropdown boxes. Starting from the top of the page, select the candidates in order of preference, from "Preference 1" (most preferred) to "Preference 12" (least preferred). * You do not need to rank every candidate. You may stop ranking candidates at any point. For example, you can choose to only rank one candidate, or four candidates, or all of the candidates. * You are allowed to change your vote during the election. This will overwrite your previous vote. You can do this as many times as you like. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO 1) read the candidates statements : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candida… 2) read the answers to the "up to 15" questions : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia… 3) send me an email (please add Sj in copy) with your favorite choices. ------> For each candidate, please put a value between -5 to +5. ------> By default, all candidates will be at 0 points. So if you support a candidate, please add a positive number. If you are opposed to a candidate, please add a negative number. I will merge those figures to get a ranking, which I will submit to the voting interface. Please do send me the email before JULY 12 ! Best Flo (*) I reported the Offline UG question from Zeljko Blace. It has been "merged" into several questions

offline wikipages within 2 degrees of separation
by Željko Blaće 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

Dear fellows - I would like to offline host minimal set of Wiki pages (Wikipedias, Wikispore, Commons) and minimal set of media (images, video and audio) that all branch out from single Reasonator (or Portal.toolforge.org) search... ...and that keep global links beyond 2 degrees (so that one can use them to continue online). For now I think of just downloading pages offline and hosting them as mobile wiki-to-static pages using wget with manual corrections. I would love to do this for monuments and tiny libraries like this https://w.wiki/5QWn so maybe have library-like single-file wiki (like https://tiddlywiki.com system) so that users could connect to it and live notices. Anyone has idea if and how to do this better and package in the most elegant way? Anyone interested in collaborating? Best Z. Blace
