Any research on Wikimedia's Protest Against SOPA/Italian Government? Taiwanese need such research now.
by Han-Teng Liao 29 May '13

29 May '13

Dear all, Perhaps some of you have noticed that Copyright Amendment Will Bring Web Filter System to Taiwan<http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/05/26/netizens-fear-copyright-amendment-…>. So I have specific questions with the aim to mobilize current research outcome to influence policy-making in Taiwan: # Any research or report that documents the use and the conditions of use for the Blackout Extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Blackout)? # Any research that discusses the pros and cons of Wikimedia's (and its local chapters', or individual contributors') involvement and coordination to stage such social/public protest. # Any research that discusses the implications of prior cases for future social mobilization . I will help compile a bibliography list. Please share what you know (preferably here in this mailing list, and I hope it is okay purpose here.) Much appreciated. Best, han-teng liao

Hi all, Reminder that there's less than 1 week to CSCW papers deadline. Posters, panels, etc, are still months off. Andrea CALL FOR PAPERS, COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK AND SOCIAL COMPUTING 2014 (CSCW 2014) Baltimore, MD, Feb 15-19, 2014http://cscw.acm.org CSCW is an international and interdisciplinary conference focused on how technology intersects with social practices. To support diverse and high-quality contributions, CSCW employs a two-phase review process and does not impose an arbitrary length limit on submissions. IMPORTANT DATES * May 31, 5:00pm PDT, 2013: Submission due * July 6: First-round notification (Revise & Resubmit or Reject) * July 26, 5:00pm PDT: Revised papers due * August 23: Final notifications We invite submissions that detail existing practices or inform the design or deployment of systems or introduce novel systems, interaction techniques, or algorithms.

Findings, guidelines, and/or ethnographic studies relating to technologies, practices, or use of communication, collaboration, and social technologies. - Methodologies and tools. Novel methods or combinations of approaches and tools used in building systems or studying their use. - Domain-specific social and collaborative applications. Including for healthcare, transportation, gaming (for enjoyment or productivity), ICT4D, sustainability, education, accessibility, collective intelligence, global collaboration, or other domains. - Collaboration systems based on emerging technologies. Mobile and ubiquitous computing, game engines, virtual worlds, multi-touch technologies, novel display technologies, vision and gesture recognition systems, big data infrastructures, MOOCs, crowd labor markets, SNSes, sensor-based environments, etc. - Crossing boundaries. Studies, prototypes, or other investigations that explore interactions across disciplines, distance, languages, generations, and cultures, to help better understand how to transcend social, temporal, and/or spatial boundaries. Papers should detail original research contributions. Papers must report new research results that represent a contribution to the field. They must provide sufficient details and support for their results and conclusions. They must cite relevant published research or experience, highlight novel aspects of the submission, and identify the most significant contributions. Evaluation is on the basis of originality, significance, quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference program diversity. SUBMISSIONS Paper submissions must be made via the Precision Conference System. A link to the submission site will be made available by early May. Papers will be presented at the CSCW conference and will be included in the conference proceedings archived in the ACM Digital Library.

Machine readable list of Wikipedia codes and languages
by Denny Vrandečić 21 May '13

21 May '13

If you have done automatic research on a number of Wikipedia language editions, I am sure that you sorely missed this list: a list of all Wikipedia language editions, their respective language codes, and the language they are written in. The list is generated nightly out of Wikidata data. Due to the slowness of the dump creation and its analysis, the list is usually two days old, so if you make a change there on Monday it won't be there until Wednesday. Here's the URL. I would appreciate if the list got checked and corrected (it's a wiki). <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/wikipedias.txt> Format: line starts with # -> comment all other lines have up to three space separated entries: 1. Wikidata ID of the Wikipedia 2. Wikimedia language code, i.e. the value of property P425 3. the language of the given Wikipedia, i.e. the value of property P407 The selected entries are all that have an instance of (P31) property with value Wikipedia (Q52). The languages in turn could be more described, e.g. with the language family, their ISO-codes, and, once we support numbers, the number of speakers, etc., thus allowing for a richer analysis of the data. I hope you enjoy the list and find it as useful as I do.
