Translations of Lila's Thank You letter
by Jessica Robell 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Dear translators, Thank you very much for all your help over the last week translating our new ED, Lila Tretikov's thank you letter. We highly appreciate your involvement and valuable help. There have been some copy changes over the last few days, which we recognize is not ideal and should always be avoided if possible. Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Thanks to you, we now have translations in many of the big languages. We highly encourage you to keep adding languages though and proofread translations that are yet to be finalized. Once again, thank you for your valuable help and support. -- Jessica Robell Global Fundraising Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] First _draft_ goals for WMF engineering/product
by Samuel Klein 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hello dear translators, It's worth sharing a sentence about this on your own village pumps. This is a chance for public feedback into the technical roadmap. SJ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 9:24 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] First _draft_ goals for WMF engineering/product To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, We've got the first DRAFT (sorry for shouting, but can't hurt to emphasize :)) of the annual goals for the engineering/product department up on mediawiki.org. We're now mid-point in the process, and will finalize through June. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2014-15_Goals Note that at this point in the process, teams have flagged inter-dependencies, but they've not necessarily been taken into account across the board, i.e. team A may say "We depend on X from team B" and team B may not have sufficiently accounted for X in its goals. :P Identifying common themes, shared dependencies, and counteracting silo tendencies is the main focus of the coming weeks. We may also add whole new sections for cross-functional efforts not currently reflected (e.g. UX standardization). Site performance will likely get its own section as well. My own focus will be on fleshing out the overall narrative, aligning around organization-wide objectives, and helping to manage scope. As far as quantitative targets are concerned, we will aim to set them where we have solid baselines and some prior experience to work with (a good example is Wikipedia Zero, where we now have lots of data to build targets from). Otherwise, though, our goal should be to _obtain_ metrics that we want to track and build targets from. This, in itself, is a goal that needs to be reflected, including expectations e.g. from Analytics. Like last year, these goals won't be set in stone. At least on a quarterly basis, we'll update them to reflect what we're learning. Some areas (e.g. scary new features like Flow) are more likely to be significantly revised than others. With this in mind: Please leave any comments/questions on the talk page (not here). Collectively we're smarter than on our own, so we do appreciate honest feedback: - What are our blind spots? Obvious, really high priority things we're not paying sufficient attention to? - Where are we taking on too much? Which projects/goals make no sense to you and require a stronger rationale, if they're to be undertaken at all? - Which projects are a Big Deal from a community perspective, or from an architecture perspective, and need to be carefully coordinated? These are all conversations we'll have in coming weeks, but public feedback is very helpful and may trigger conversations that otherwise wouldn't happen. Please also help to carry this conversation into the wikis in coming weeks. Again, this won't be the only opportunity to influence, and I'll be thinking more about how the quarterly review process can also account for community feedback. Warmly, Erik -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> -- Samuel Klein @metasj w:user:sj +1 617 529 4266

Ready for early translation: Tech News bulletin #24 (2014)
by Tomasz W. Kozłowski 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi! The latest (rather short) issue of the Tech News bulletin is ready for early translation at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/24 The bulletin will be sent to subscribers on Monday morning (UTC); all translations existing by that time will be posted on wikis in those languages. There might be some edits tomorrow, but the content should remain fairly stable -- I will let you know as soon as a final version of the issue is published. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I appreciate your help, feedback and involvement. Tomasz

If you have any feedback/suggestions, please report it on the project talk page [5]. Many thanks! :) P.S: Live support on #mediawiki-i18n on freenode [1] http://pagemigration.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:PageMigration [3] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=65740&hide_resolve… [4] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?blocked=65740&component=Transl… [5] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Translate/Mass_migration_tools -- Warm Regards, *Pratik Lahoti* GSoC Intern | Wikimedia User:BPositive <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:BPositive>

Hi everyone, As a Google Summer of Code Intern, I have been working on the Mass Migration tools project [1] for Wikimedia. We are now ready with a minimal working product [2]. The tool helps translators and translation administrators import the old translations into the Translate Extension [3]. An instance of the same has been set up on labs. You can find some useful instructions on the main page [4]. Please test the tool and report bugs/suggestions using the link provided on the main page itself. You can have a look at the tracking bug [5] to check already reported bugs. Looking forward to hearing from you! Cheers.
