Hello Everyone
You may be aware of the tool - WikiBhasha Beta - that Microsoft Research
has made available for Wikipedia. WikiBhasha is a multilingual content
creation tool that has been contributed as open-source extension to
MediaWiki, as well as a bookmarklet and a user script in Wikipedia.
WikiBhasha focuses the user on creation of content in target language
Wikipedia, either with content that is created fresh, or content sourced
from the large English Wikipedia. I belong to Microsoft Research India -
where WikiBhasha was conceptualized and most of the development took
place.
WikiBhasha was announced on Wikimedia Foundation blog (
http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/10/18/wikibhasha/) in October 2010,
and the installable bookmarklet is available from the WikiBhasha home
page
install
it (it just involves adding a bookmark in your
browser), and take it for
a
test drive. The user documents and a quick video
tour are provided in
the
WikiBhasha home, with a set of discussion forums
to discuss your
experience.
The link to the open sourced WikiBhasha code in
MediaWiki is also
available
on this website.
We hope that you will find WikiBhasha useful in creating content on
Arabic
Wikipedia and in this respect we invite you for a
workshop planned in 2
weeks. This will be a couple of hours of interaction between Wikipedians,
Researchers, Developers and other people interested in growing content on
Arabic Wikipedia. We will demo WikiBhasha to you and you are welcome to
try
it right there and give us feedback. Here are the
workshop details:
Venue - Microsoft Innovation Center, Cairo (
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/labs/cmic/visit.aspx)
Date - Wednesday, 29-Dec-2010
Time - 7pm to 9pm
RSVP - Mohamed Nar (Microsoft Egypt), mnar(a)microsoft.com<mailtolto:
mnar(a)microsoft.com>
We will be happy to host you at the workshop and your feedback and
comments
will help in improving the tool. Please do let
Mohamed know if you would
like to attend the program.
Sincerely,
Ashwani Sharma
