Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1
by Vishnu 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Below FYI. Vishnu -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1 Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:50:34 +0200 From: Silke Meyer <silke.meyer(a)wikimedia.de> Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Organization: Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, please spread the word: Tools only on Tool Labs from July 1 About one year ago, we, Wikimedia Deutschland e. V., announced June 30th as the deadline of the Toolserver migration (Roadmap at [1]). This deadline is approaching. The Toolserver will stop working on June 30th. What will happen afterwards? Background information The Toolserver is a community based infrastructure that hosts software supporting Wikipedia and its sister projects. Over the years many active volunteers have developed helpful and great software tools that are running on several Wikimedia projects. The Toolserver is operated by Wikimedia Deutschland with assistance from the Wikimedia Foundation and several chapters. For many reasons, the Toolserver will be discontinued and replaced by Tool Labs [2], a platform operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Please see the reasons at [3]. For more than one year Wikimedia Deutschland has been coordinating the migration of software tools from Toolserver to Tool Labs. What editors should know The toolserver is a community-driven project. The tools shall be migrated by the developers resp. maintainers themselves. Many of them have already migrated their tools or have indicated that they will do so before the end of this month. We have a special agreement with the OpenStreetMap projects and with the developer of Merlbot [4] to ensure these tools don’t stop working. All other tools will stop working by July 1st. What editors can do * On Tool Labs [2], you can look up if the tools that you use and need have already moved there. * Talk to the developers of your favourite tools: It is important to let them know how much you appreciate their tools and that you need them to do your work. * Contact us if you don’t know who these developers are or if you have any questions or if you want us to forward wishes or requests to tool developers. Contact information is given at the end of this text. Information for tool developers If you are still facing the migration of your tools, please keep in mind that lots of people use your tools. They are a great support for their daily work and will be missed when they fail. Please take the time to migrate them or poke us: WMDE can still support you during migration - what we can’t do is maintain abandoned tools in the long run. From July 1st on, the toolserver admins will still hand you over your backups upon request and create redirects to Tool Labs for you. *You won’t be able to log in to the toolserver anymore though.* If anyone wants to have and reuse other people’s code, we recommend to seek approval from them directly, even if from a legal point of view there is no problem. Don’t hesitate to talk to us if you need a contact person. Here is a collection of the relevant links for you again: * Tool Labs: http://tools.wmflabs.org * Tool Labs help pages: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help * How to create redirects to Tool Labs: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/.htaccess#.htaccess * Magnus Manske’s migration manual: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/Migrating_from_tools… * Scripts to clean up your toolserver account]] after migration: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Main_Page * Mailing list Labs-l: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l * IRC channel #wikimedia-labs: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-labs * Marc-André Pelletier (Coren) and Andrew Bogott (andrewbogott) are the WMF Tool Labs ops. Petr Bena (petan) and Tim Landscheidt (scfc_de) are voluntary Tool Labs admins. We invite you to join our IRC office hour in #wikimedia-office on Wednesday, June 11th, at 5 p.m. UTC. Contact: The migration is coordinated by Silke Meyer (WMDE). Birgit Müller supports her in communications. The two toolserver admins Marlen Caemmerer und Alexander Mette are glad to help you with advice. Marc-André Pelletier can answer all questions concerning Tool Labs. Contact us at Silke: silke.meyer(a)wikimedia.de, Talk page at [5], IRC: Silke_WMDE Birgit: birgit.mueller(a)wikimedia.de, Talk page at [6], IRC: Birgit_WMDE We hope that the transition will happen as smoothly as possible!

Re: [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] [Wikimediaindia-l] Outcome of CIS work in Kannada Wikipedia
by Hari Prasad Nadig 21 May '14

21 May '14

As a sysop, significant contributor and presently an avid observer on Kannada Wikipedia, I can say that it is true that the user activity has returned to pre-education programme levels within a month or faster than that. In fact, there has not been considerable increase in quality or momentum on par with organic growth despite CIS shelling close to 17 Lakh rupees (correct me if I'm wrong) - much of it constituting a percentage of Dr. U B Pavanaja's salary at CIS. There have been tens of such events being announced in a nutshell and carried out without definitive impact. What is more concerning is that the media reports (which is quite easy to get in this part of the world) being used to cover up the lack of definitive impact. Perhaps we should hear more from the fellow Wikimedians who're neutral and friends on Kannada Wikipedia mailing list who're neutral to assess the actual impact than from CIS's partners (Christ College as on this thread, for instance).

On CIS's grants request from Wikimedia Foundation
by Hari Prasad Nadig 15 May '14

15 May '14

Fellow Wikimedians, As you all know, Center for Internet and Society, Bangalore has sought funding of about *1.8 Crores* through the FDC process from Wikimedia Foundation to carry out work on seven local language projects in India that includes Kannada, Telugu among others. [1] The funds primarily cover the salaries of the people belonging to the CIS-A2K team among other administrative expenses and other expenses as outlined on their proposal page. The proposal was up for Community review and comments until April 30th and many have recorded their response about it [2]. Several community members have come forward in pointing out that the staff salaries being paid and that being proposed - are quite on the higher side (which is up to 2.4 Lakhs per month per person). Apart from the concerns on extremely high salaries for Indian norms of the team members of CIS-A2K team, there have been some serious concerns raised about some apparent Conflict of Interest [3] and non-compliance with the local laws (mainly Karnataka Societies act and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). However, looks like the proposal has moved forward through the FDC process for funding despite the concerns raised and has gotten through to the next stage. More concerns have now been raised by several community members on the Staff Assessment discussion page here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/… I invite you to participate in the discussion and help steer this in the right direction.

Re: [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-blr] On CIS's grants request from Wikimedia Foundation
by Hari Prasad Nadig 15 May '14

Dear Pavanaja, Please correct me if I'm wrong. You have received an annual compensation of about *17 Lakhs* last year (that also excludes travel and other reimbursements) as per the declaration made by Vishnu on the talk page of this proposal [1]. This came from the funds granted to CIS that was received from WMF through FCRA. And this will be increased by 20% for this year? Further, for Kannada alone, *12.3 Lakhs* seem to be set aside out of which you seem to be the primary beneficiary. [2] And all this while, you have been a columnist for Prajavani. This seems to be a clear violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act as outlined by Srikanth on the copied email.
