Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2014 starts NOW
by Quim Gil 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

fyi -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Google Summer of Code 2014 starts NOW Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 11:41:36 -0800 From: Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Google Summer of Code 2014 has started. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 (Thank you Raylton for creating this page) The first step is to apply as Wikimedia organization before February 14. I can do this, with your help: * We need another org admin ready to work. I was the primary org admin in GSoC 2013 and I'm also primary/only org admin in FOSS OPW and Facebook Oen Academy. Google Code-in was different, with Andre and me really sharing the org admin role. This brought better and more reliable program administration, plus useful knowledge shared by more people for future editions. Interested? Please reply. * We need to add proposals with mentors and community buy-in under the "Featured project ideas" section at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Featur… . Either you step in now, or you wait at least six months until the next call. Interested? Just edit the page. The sooner the better. PS: I will be offline on holidays next week. I will submit the Wikimedia application before leaving, almost week before the deadline. You will be able to keep improving our proposal by improving the related wiki pages. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Now Accepting Applications for Mentoring Organizations for GSoC 2014 Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 11:01:15 -0800 From: Carol Smith <carols(a)google.com> Reply-To: gsoc-mentors-announce+owners(a)googlegroups.com To: GSoC Mentors Announce <gsoc-mentors-announce(a)googlegroups.com> Hi all, We're pleased to announce that applications for mentoring organizations for Google Summer of Code 2014 are now being accepted [1].

Re: [Offline-l] "appearance of a Wikipedia article" as a WMF trademark
by Samuel Klein 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Section 5.3 seems to cover this as well. There is only a problem if, say, you use a similar logo and similar domain name. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trademark_policy#FAQ-fakearticle That said, to the extent that we care about not being confused with mirrors and forks, we should perhaps consider using a well-defined customization of Vector (with some colors and other visual features that are not the same as the default MediaWiki install) on the core WM sites. Then there would be even less of a chance of any confusion; or of any possibly unintended trademark conflict. SJ On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 6:13 PM, C.

"appearance of a Wikipedia article" as a WMF trademark
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

In the draft trademark policy, we learn that «This policy applies to all trademarks of the Wikimedia Foundation. [...] One example is the specific design and appearance of a Wikipedia article, or the Wikipedia main page. The trade dress of any Wikimedia site is also a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation.» https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trademark_policy#FAQ-tradedress Has someone got explicit confirmation that this wording can't possibly ever mean that a ZIM/Kiwix dump reproducing "the specific design and appearance of a Wikipedia article" could theoretically be subject to a trademark authorisation?

download or create a book on android-4.1, chrome, not possible
by rupert THURNER 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

hi, sorry for crossposting this, but i am a little lost whom to ask. erik mentioned some time ago how important zim support is in collections, and mentioned that there are barely downloads. very rarely i get my hands on a new enought android version where kiwix runs. and i tried to (1) create a book, and (2) download a book. both failed. 1. create a book the mobile skin is lacking the "book" or "add page to book" link. calling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book does not help either, there is no obvious way to add pages to a book. 2. download a book go to a book like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Books/Derivatives. the mobile skin again is broken and the download link is crippled. if one is lucky to hit the zim download link anyway, it switches over to a non-mobile link to generate the book. it really seems to generate the book, and displays a link. clicking it then downloads a 6.5 mb big "index.php" and says "failed". you have any idea what i do wrong? rupert.
