Fwd: [Wikinews-l] Kicking off the 2010-2011 fundraiser
by Samuel Klein 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Philippe is looking for people interested in working on this year's fundraiser. (simplified announcement attached; please share in other languages) SJ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Philippe Beaudette <pbeaudette(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 4:27 PM Subject: [Wikinews-l] Kicking off the 2010-2011 fundraiser Hi All, I want to start a conversation about the 2010-2011 Fundraiser. It won't launch for a few months, but we want community involvement early and often. We plan for "many small gifts" to be the heart of our funding strategy. Our community fundraiser is one central method by which we support the projects. The fundraiser this year will probably be focused on banners. We will emphasize testing and changing ideas. The most important part is what our community is good at: thinking, researching, and improving. Anyone can join and help at any time. But we need people who are willing to be involved throughout the fundraiser ... people who want to be creative and willing to learn from the past ... people who want to serve as an active part of the fundraiser team. There will be Foundation staff deeply involved in this, but we are looking for people from the community to join and help us design this campaign. If you want to help, would you add your name to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Committee ? We will be in contact - soon - to get things started. Thanks, Philippe ____________________ Philippe Beaudette Head of Reader Relations Wikimedia Foundation philippe(a)wikimedia.org ofc: +1 415 839 6885 (x 643) mobile: 918 200 WIKI (9454) Imagine a world in which every human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

New request: "Work at Wikimedia" CentralNotice
by Casey Brown 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hey translators, On Monday, the Wikimedia Foundation will be running a notice on all projects. These notices will say "Work at Wikimedia" or "Work at Wikipedia" and will link people to a form where they can start the application process for jobs in the new "Community Department". We won't be translating the form itself, since applicants will need to speak English to work at the Foundation, but we could use your help translating the notice itself on Meta-Wiki: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Work_at_Wikimedia> Thanks!

announcement request -TraduXio
by Philippe Lacour 07 Jul '10

*The TraduXio **Project* *Zanchin NGO (Paris, France)* *Precise Translation and Multilingual Content Management* http://traduxio.hypertopic.org (private beta version) *TraduXio* is a free, open source, web based collaborative environment for computer assisted translation. Aiming at precision and customization, instead of approximate mass-translation, it considers linguistic diversity as a cultural wealth to be cherished and sustained, and not an obstacle to be overcome. *TraduXio* has been developed using innovative technology that is especially suited to tackling the challenges of cultural (non commercial, non repetitive) texts. Inspired by the strong collaborative spirit of “Web 2.0”, the platform uses social devices (wikis, forums, networks, etc.) and promotes the creation of common goods, guided by a logic of pooling (gradual feeding of the database). *TraduXio* is original in several ways. Its basic assumption is that one does not translate from a language to another, but rather from a singular text to another one. Whereas traditional technologies are limited to two languages (source/target), *TraduXio*’s concordancer* *enables the comparison of different versions of the same text in various languages. It also offers a classification of the source according to the history, genre, author, etc. This means that information can be easily managed, assessed and treated. *TraduXio* is designed to encourage the diversification of language learning (in particular the learning of a wider range of languages) and to promote a reappraisal of translation as a professional competence, especially in research activities. Language students can for instance use the platform to propose multilingual translations of assigned texts, either individually or as a group. Language teachers (and/or translation specialists) can easily supervise the translation through the online interface, propose corrections, compare different drafts, and also evaluate students' questions and hesitations. *TraduXio* is also suited for scholars and Academic Departments, particularly in Literature and the Social Sciences. Specialists can create multilingual glossaries or build a dedicated ‘translation memory’ for any topic or author. Users can manage text privileges (who may read, edit, translate, administer…), and thus decide which translations (and to which extent) will be available to the public or remain private. Traduxio will be presented this summer at a conference near you : - in Kyoto, Japan, 12-18 July à on July the 15th (Institut Français), http://ifjk.jp/fr/events/event-detail/25 - in Seoul, Corea, 19-22 July on July 19th (Korea University) - in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 23-28th à ‘Found in Translation’ Conference, Mayala University, http://english.um.edu.my/anuvaada/main.html - in Beijing, China, July 29th-August 5th - in Abu Dhabi, EAU, August 6 and 7th - Pretoria, South Africa, August 9th-22d, à August 11-12, the « Languages for Africa » conference, Tshwane University If you are interested and/or have further questions, please contact our team.
