Etherpads
by Asaf Bartov 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Hi, folks. Many of you are still using etherpad.wikimedia.org -- which is old and terribly buggy. Some of you have switched to etherpad.wmflabs.org -- which is new and works well, but which had repeatedly choked in the past couple of days under the stress from dozens of Wikipedians taking notes simultaneously on several sheets. *The best server to use is http://epl.wikimedia.org* -- also running the new version, but deployed on a production-grade server that shouldn't have those frequent disconnections and load problems. Cheers, Asaf -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation <http://www.wikimediafoundation.org> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Help us make it a reality! https://donate.wikimedia.org

a humble plea for the speakers
by Raul Veede 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Dear speakers! Please, please, PLEASE put your slides up on the conference pages! (If possible, with comments.) Not everyone has the chance to see every presentation they're interested about. This way, you might get useful feedback and possibly cooperation even after you've closed your computer and left the stage. We're not a military company, we don't need a "who's not in, is out" approach. Thanks! Raul WMEE

I can confirm that he is here. He's even giving a talk about the EU project at sunday afternoon :-) -- TL -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: David Cuenca <dacuetu(a)gmail.com> Datum: An: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Betreff: Re: [Wikimania-l] WMEU Hi Raul, I'm interested in talking about this topic. Do you know about the EU policy project? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/07/16/our-man-in-brussels-dimitar-dimitrov/ I think Dimi is in Wikimania, but unfortunately I haven't meet him yet. Micru On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 12:49 AM, Raul Veede <raul.veede(a)gmail.com> wrote: A short clarification: I did NOT mean to set up an organization of European chapters. It's just that on a recent trip to European Commission I noticed that the coverage of EU on wikiprojects is surprisingly lousy, yet it influences millions of people and could be really important. A usual article on a multimillion dollar program of EU is only present on English and French Wikipedias, has no sources, doesn't mention implementation, media coverage or influence, and dates from 2007 or 2009. Fairly, it sucks. But it doesn't have to be like that. EU institutions aren't any good in spreading neutral and objective information directly to the people whose lives they influence, so everything goes through the filters of local politicians and media which all too often have their own agenda. (That's why there's a monthly panic about "EU forbidding this or that".) To be honest, we're much better at communication than the EU professionals are. So, maybe we could cooperate. I'm not a missionary for this, I won't try to convince anyone. I'm already exhausted by my current work. But I'd like to hear if anyone else thinks we could (or should) do something about it.

I'm not even absolutely sure it would be a good idea, or how it should be working, but I think it would be worth discussing. I've already talked to some of us, so I hope they chime in and help us find a time slot - maybe sometime tonight, before people start to leave.
