Hello all,
As you know, the Wikimedia hackathon https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017 will take place on May 19-21 in Vienna.
During this event, we will organize a documentation sprint to help volunteers to improve the user-level documentation for Wikidata.
During these 3 days, you'll be able to join (IRL or remotely, at any moment) to work on improving and translating the help pages. We suggest a focus on these 3 topics:
- Beginner documentation about Wikidata https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159216 - Lua for Wikimedians https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159217 - Wikibase installation https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159218
We will also organize some workshops (translation tools, illustration...) to help you build a better documentation.
You will find all the information on the related page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017/Wikidata_documentation_sprint. If you're interested, feel free to add yourself in the attendees list.
We're now building a list of simple tasks that volunteers could work on during the event. If you have any ideas, parts of the documentation that should really be improved... feel free to add your ideas on the talk page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017/Wikidata_documentation_sprint, or if you feel comfortable with Phabricator, directly create subtasks of the tasks listed above.
Thanks a lot, and maybe see you there!
