Hello Friends!
The Inuka team [1] and the Wikistories pilot project team [2] are delighted
to announce that we have launched the first version of the Wikistories
tool, which is now available on the Bahasa Indonesian Wikipedia, as a beta
feature.
Wikistories is a new tool used to create visual format content that
combines images and short text from Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.
Presently, the Wikimedia Indonesia community is running a Wikistories pilot
testing campaign that will help the Wikistories team evaluate the outcome
of this version, improve the tool and get ready to engage with other Wiki
communities that would like to incorporate this content format in their
projects.
We are so excited about the possibilities of this tool and would like you
to learn more about it in this blog post [3] and the Wikistories FAQ page
[4] (you can also help with the translation of the page to your language).
Please feel free to provide feedback, comment, and ask questions about the
tool on the Wikistories talk page [5].
Thank you!
