Background story:
My team is hiring again. Wikimedia contributors (which includes all of
you!) don't check the job board
<https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia#.VjkDrdaN2UA> very often, so I
thought I would take this information to the communities. My plan is this:
if you translate this short note, I will post your translation to the
Village Pump for that language's Wikipedia. Ideally, that will help my
team find a good candidate who speaks that language.
The job description is going to be changed slightly soon, so I won't post
anything until that is settled (probably today or tomorrow). I'll post
whatever translations you can create this week.
In case any of you are interested, then the ideal candidate for CL work:
* is very familiar with Wikipedia and the sister projects,
** speaks English well enough to participate in a meeting, and *
** reads and writes any non-English language well enough to communicate on
wiki. *
*This time, we are giving some extra preference to someone who understands
Chinese, Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages, because we have no teammates
who are fluent in those language groups. However, we always consider
candidates who understand other languages, even at a basic level. (After
all, they hired me. ;-)*
Also, they have just started the first interviews. If you are interested,
then you need to apply soon. I am not involved in the interviews or hiring
decision, but if you have any questions about it, then you can contact
me off-list. I will try to find out the answer to your question.

Hi everyone,
The Community Tech team is planning to send out the Community Wishlist
Survey invitation soon. The point of the survey is to allow the team to
work on the issues the core community feels are the most important to make
their lives easier. In order to do this, they need to reach parts of the
Wikimedia community that don't speak English. In particular, they're
concerned about the current lack of Japanese, (Mandarin) Chinese and
Russian, but they'd like to see as many languages as possible.
The invitation:

All translations are very appreciated.

Hi everyone,
The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/45
Direct translation link:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-T…
I'm planning to send the newsletter on Monday afternoon (UTC), i.e.
Monday morning PDT. The existing translations will be posted on the
wikis in that language.
There may be a few more edits by Friday, but the existing content
should generally remain fairly stable. I will let you know on Friday
in any case.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As
always, I appreciate your help and feedback.
//Johan Jönsson
