Hi,
I was wondering if there is any place where I can find text (without
markup, etc) only versions of wikipedia suitable for NLP tasks? I've been
able to find a couple of old ones for the english wikipedia but I would
like to analyze different languages (mandarin, arabic, etc...).
Of course, any pointers to software that I can use to convert the usual XML
dumps to text would be great as well.
Best,
Bruno

Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for an economy of the People
An encounter which aims to highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented approach of peer production and collaborative economy, while proposing public policies and providing technical guidelines to build platforms for collaborative communities.
www.procomuns.net<http://www.procomuns.net>
Contact: <mailto:info@dimmons.net> info(a)dimmons.net<mailto:info@dimmons.net>
WHEN & WHERE
During the weekend of March 12-13th, 2016, with a locally-oriented event taking place on Friday, March 11th, 2016.
Barcelona Activa<http://www.barcelonactiva.cat/> (Carrer Llacuna, 162 -164, 08018 Barcelona)
GOALS
1. Highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy, and project internationally the relevance of commons – oriented production in Barcelona and Catalonia.
2. Build policy recommendations for public administrations, specifically to be sent to the Plan of Municipal Action (PAM) for the next 4 years of the Barcelona City Council, and the consultation process of the European Commission, on public policies of promotion and regulation of the collaborative economy and the model of city.
3. Provide technical guidelines to build free and open software and decentralized technologies for collaborative communities.
ORGANIZERS
The is organized by Barcelona Activa – Department of “Other Economies and proximity” with the BarCola – Node on collaborative economy and commons production in Barcelona (associated to the Social and Solidarian Economy Commission of the Barcelona City Council), and the P2Pvalue European project<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/> (locally by Dimmons<http://www.dimmons.net/>– Digital Commons Research at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute of the Open University of Catalonia (Dimmons.net @ IN3-UOC) and the Institute of Govern and Public Policies of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (IGOPnet.cc<http://igopnet.cc/> @ UAB).
Organizers collaborators of the event are Guifi.net<https://guifi.net/>, Goteo<https://ca.goteo.org/>, Pangea<https://pangea.org/>, Free Knowledge Institute (with the Digital DIY project<http://www.didiy.eu/>), the Reutilitza.cat<https://www.reutilitza.cat/en> and eReuse.org<http://www.ereuse.org/en/> projects, Amical Viquipedia<https://www.wikimedia.cat/>, and OuiShare<http://ouishare.net/>, among others.
DEPARTING DIAGNOSTIC AND DIRECTION
In the last two decades we have seen the emergence of Internet-enabled collaborative communities building shared and common resources. Commons-based Peer Production is rapidly growing, not just for the disruptive and very successful cases of software (with free and open software) and encyclopedias (Wikipedia) but also for information (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), hardware (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), accommodation (Couchsurfing) and currency (local coins).
More recently, we have also seen the emergence and growth of hybrid models which retain some similar organizational logic, such as being based on collaborative principles, but privatizing others. This is the case in corporate-based peer production such as Uber or Airbnb. Are they truly collaborative economies?. This issue opens up a series of debates and opportunities about how to retain the commons and socially transformative dimension in the collaborative economy through the recognition of the distinctive values of these modes of production, beyond value approaches which focus on monetization, and new forms of open/peer/platform cooperativism.
However, public debate mainly focuses on the controversies around large corporations entering the collaborative economy. Thus, the public is mostly aware of peer production through these few large corporations. There is a growing need to organize and raise the visibility of the commons and socially-oriented model, and to address which are the conditions that should be present in order to characterise an economy or enterprise as “collaborative”.
Additionally, recent technological developments, such as emergent blockchain technologies, have opened up new avenues of commons production, management and distribution through more decentralized governance structures, which also open up very promising avenues for the evolution of the collaborative economy.
The more important commons-based peer production becomes, the more that controversies emerge, attracting the interest of public administrations. Still, it remains largely unclear what the role of public administrations might be, which Public-Commons partnerships could be established, and what policy approach could be the most productive and beneficial.
The event main goal is to highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy, and build policy and technical resources to promote its scalability.
The encounter will mix plenaries with unconference / open space working groups to achieve the targeted outcomes. Participants will have the chance to suggest other activities.
Antecedents
The event will follow up on the previous workshop FLOSS4P2P<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>, organized by the P2Pvalue<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/> european project, this time expanding the focus to policy. It will provide an opportunity for policy people to interact with the technical teams of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) platforms for commons-based peer production communities, and to get a “deep dive” into how to promote the commons approach to collaborative economy from institutions.

Les organitzacions col·laboradores de l’esdeveniment són Guifi.net<https://guifi.net/>, Goteo<https://ca.goteo.org/>, Pangea<https://pangea.org/>, Free Knowledge Institute (amb Digital DIY project<http://www.didiy.eu/>), els projectes Reutilitza.cat<https://www.reutilitza.cat/en> i eReuse.org<http://www.ereuse.org/en/> de la Universita Politecnica de Catulynya, Amical Viquipedia<https://www.wikimedia.cat/>, i OuiShare<http://ouishare.net/>, entre altres.
DIAGNOSTIC I DIRECCIO
Les últimes dues dècades hem comprovat com gràcies a Internet sorgien comunitats col·laboratives i noves possibilitats d’utilitzar recursos comuns. La producció procomú està creixent ràpidament, no només en l’àmbit del programari (lliure i obert) i del coneixement (projectes enciclopèdics, educatius i lingüístics com la Viquipèdia), sinó també per obtenir informació (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), maquinària (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), allotjament (Couchsurfing) o divises (monedes locals).
Més recentment, també hem vist l’aparició i creixement de models híbrids que presenten lògiques d’organització similars, basades en principis de col·laboració, però privatitzant-ne d’altres. És el cas de la producció entre iguals de base corporativista com Uber o Airbnb. Però són aquestes realment les economies de col·laboració? El problema obre una sèrie de debats i oportunitats sobre com conservar el procomú i la dimensió de transformació social en l’economia col·laborativa a través del reconeixement dels valors propis d’aquests modes de producció, més enllà dels enfocaments de valor que es centren en l’obtenció d’ingressos, i les noves formes de cooperativisme obert, entre iguals i en plataformes.
Tot i això, el debat públic es centra principalment en les controvèrsies al voltant de grans corporacions que irrompen en l’economia col·laborativa. Així doncs, l’opinió pública està majoritàriament al corrent de la producció entre iguals a través d’aquestes poques grans corporacions. És per aquest motiu que hi ha una creixent necessitat d’organitzar i augmentar la visibilitat del procomú i del seu model d’orientació social, i de definir quins criteris són els que caracteritzen una economia o empresa com a “col·laborativa”.
A més a més, recents progressos com les tecnologies emergents blockchain han obert noves vies de producció, gestió i distribució procomú a través de models de governança més descentralitzats, que també obren noves vies molt prometedores per a l’evolució de l’economia col·laborativa.
Com més important esdevé l’economia col·laborativa, més controvèrsies sorgeixen, i més s’atrau l’interès de les administracions públiques. Tot i així, encara no està clar quin podria ser el paper d’aquestes administracions públiques, quins nexes públics-procomú es podrien establir i quin enfocament de polítiques podria ser el més productiu i beneficiós.
En aquest sentit, l’esdeveniment té per objectiu ressaltar la rellevància del model procomú dins l’economia col·laborativa i generar recursos de polítiques públiques i tècnics per la seva escalabilitat.
La trobada planteja combinar sessions plenàries amb models participatius de desconferència (unconferences), així com sessions obertes a grups de treball per aconseguir els resultats previstos. Els participants tindran l’oportunitat de suggerir activitats.
Antecedents
L’esdeveniment representa el seguiment del workshop FLOSS4P2P<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>, organitzat pel projecte europeu P2Pvalue<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/>, aquest cop amb l’ampliació a l’àmbit de les polítiques públiques. Tanmateix, proporcionarà una oportunitat perquè les persones responsables de les polítiques puguin interactuar amb experts i equips tècnics de FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) per aconseguir una “immersió profunda” en la forma de promoure l’enfocament del procomú per economia col·laborativa per part de les institucions.

DIAGNOSTICO Y DIRECCION
Las últimas dos décadas hemos comprobado cómo gracias a Internet han surgido comunidades colaborativas y nuevas posibilidades de utilizar recursos comunes. La producción procomún está creciendo rápidamente, no sólo en el ámbito del software (con software libre y abierto) y del conocimiento (enciclopedias como Viquipèdia), sinó también para obtener información (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), hardware (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), alojamiento (Couchsurfing) o divisas (monedas locales).
Más recientemente, también hemos asistido a la aparición y al crecimiento de modelos híbridos que presentan lógicas de organización similares, basadas en principios de colaboración, pero privatizando otros. Es el caso de la producción entre iguales de base corporativista como Uber o Airbnb. ¿Pero son estos realmente casos de economía colaborativa? El problema abre una serie de debates sobre cómo conservar el procomún y la dimensión de transformación social en la economía colaborativa a través del reconocimiento de los valores propios de estos modos de producción, más allá de los enfoques de valor que se centran en la obtención de ingresos, y las nuevas formas de cooperativismo abierto, entre iguales y en plataformas.
Aún así, el debate público se centra principalmente en las controversias alrededor de grandes corporaciones que irrumpen en la economía colaborativa. Así, la opinión pública está mayoritariamente al corriente de la producción entre iguales a través de estas pocas grandes corporaciones. Por ese motivo hay una creciente necesidad de organizar y aumentar la visibilidad del procomún y de su modelo de orientación social, y de definir qué criterios son los que caracterizan una economía o empresa como “colaborativa”.
Además, recientes adelantos como las tecnologías emergentes blockchain, han abierto nuevas vías de producción, gestión y distribución procomún a través de modelos de gobernanza más descentralizados, que también abren nuevas vías muy prometedoras para la evolución de la economía colaborativa.
Cuanto más importante deviene la economía colaborativa, más controversias surgen, atrayendo el interés de las administraciones públicas. Aún así, todavía no está claro cuál podría ser el papel de estas administraciones públicas, qué partenariados públicos-procomún se podrían establecer y qué enfoque de políticas podría ser el más productivo y beneficioso.
El evento tiene por objetivo resaltar la relevancia del modelo procomún dentro de la economía colaborativa, y crear recursos de políticas públicas y tecnicos para apoyar su escalabilidad.
El encuentro se plantea combinar sesiones plenarias con modelos participativos tipo “unconference”, así como sesiones abiertas a grupos de trabajo para conseguir los resultados previstos. Los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de sugerir actividades.

Además, proporcionará una oportunidad para que personas responsables de las políticas puedan interactuar con expertos y equipos técnicos de Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) para conseguir una “inmersión profunda” en la forma de promover el enfoque del procomún de la economía colaborativa por parte de las instituciones.

Coincidentally, I have the 2011 survey data open in my stats package. I can report that there is not a statistically significant difference in reported level of education between those who report being male or female but the average age reported by women is 33.4 and by men, 31.9, and that difference is statistically significant.
Looking through the other variables, the few others that I checked (e.g., children) were not significantly different statistically, with the exception of self-reported performance: men averaged 6.25 (on a 1-10 scale, not at all good to extremely good) while women averaged 6.0, and the difference is statistically significant. You may make of that what you will :-)
If you are curious about any of the other items on the survey, I’d be happy to check them.

Subject: Re: [Wiki-research-l] Gender bias in GitHub (but not entirely what you expect)
So I can easily believe the average women on GitHub is of a higher standard of ability than the average male. I suspect the same holds true about Wikipedians. Does anyone actually have the 2011 editor survey data to compare male vs female on other questions like age, level of education, etc. It would be interesting to know how the male and female Wikipedians of 2011 are statistically different in other ways.
Dear all,
I think that the following call might be of interest to some members of the
list. Please, feel free to disseminate it (thanks!):
*Call for Participation: **Policy & FLOSS for the Commons*
We invite you to participate in the forthcoming international workshop “Commons
Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for the People
<http://procomuns.net/en/>” in Barcelona, March 11-13. This event if
organized by the P2Pvalue project <http://www.p2pvalue.eu/> in
collaboration with the Barcelona municipality.
This interdisciplinary workshop will follow up the previous workshop
FLOSS4P2P <http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>, this time
expanding the focus to policy. It will provide an opportunity for policy
people to interact with the technical teams of Free/Libre/Open Source
Software (FLOSS) platforms for commons-based peer production communities,
and to get a deep dive into how to promote the commons approach to
collaborative economy from institutions. We have three aims:
1.
Highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the
collaborative economy
2.
Build policy recommendations for the European Commission concerning the
regulation of the collaborative economy
3.
Provide technical guidelines to build software platforms for
collaborative communities
The workshop will include panels on relevant topics, unconference dynamic
spaces, a hackathon, and working groups to draft the mentioned policy and
technical documents.
We welcome proposals for:
-
Lightning talks (2m): summarise your idea & receive feedback from the
audience
-
Leading Discussion (20-30m): gather those interested in your
project/tech/policy/research, introduce it to the group, and discuss
-
Participatory sessions (30m-1h): engage the interdisciplinary attendees
in co-creating, playing or creative dynamic sessions
Please email: info(a)dimmons.net with your proposals, deadline Feb 29.
You may find additional info at http://procomuns.net/en/
We hope you will be able to join to help pushing forward the transition to
the commons!
Thank you
The P2Pvalue crew

"We are the ones we have been waiting for" (June Jordan)
Dear Wiki-research list members,
I am new to the list, so I hope this is the right place.
I'm looking for studies or good sources on what motivates the volunteer
Wikipedians to become involved and stay involved in writing articles to and
editing Wikipedia?
This motivation is probably quite multi-layered ranging from wider goals
(that may be sometimes post-hoc rationalizations) and shorter goals and
incentives (that may be less easily rationalized). E.g. for me, I believe
somewhat in the mission, but what gets me going probably is more if I see
someone being wrong on the public part of the internet.
What motivates the wikipedians? What do the wikipedians get out of this for
themselves? What are the proximal motivations that get them going? If you
know any sources, sending them to my personal e-mail as well as to the list
is ok.
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Peeter Tinits
Second Call for Papers & Updates
9th Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics
- CICM 2016 -
July 25-29, 2016

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Digital and computational solutions are becoming the prevalent means
for the generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of
mathematical information. Separate communities have developed to
investigate and build computer based systems for computer algebra,
automated deduction, and mathematical publishing as well as novel user
interfaces. While all of these systems excel in their own right, their
integration can lead to synergies offering significant added
value. The Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM)
offers a venue for discussing and developing solutions to the great
challenges posed by the integration of these diverse areas.
CICM has been held annually as a joint meeting since 2008, co-locating
related conferences and workshops to advance work in these
subjects. Previous meetings have been held in Birmingham (UK 2008),
Grand Bend (Canada 2009), Paris (France 2010), Bertinoro (Italy 2011),
Bremen (Germany 2012), Bath (UK 2013), Coimbra (Portugal 2014), and
Washington DC (USA 2015).
This is a call for papers for CICM 2016, which will be held in
Bialystok, Poland, July 25-29, 2016.
