How can i volunteer? ---------- Sent from my Nokia phone ------Original message------ From: Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> To: "Wikimedia-gh" <Wikimedia-gh(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012 9:38:16 PM GMT+0100 Subject: [Wikimedia-GH] Jury Tool now in our custody Hello all There's a nice tool which can be used for the Jury process of the images submitted during the WLM event last month. I currently have access to the jury tool and I'll love if one or two person can join me do the judging. I wouldn't like a situation whereby my not-so-good eyes will only do the judging. At least 1 or two more persons joining me will be okay. Any volunteer? By the way, we're still waiting for the shipped goodies from WLM to use as prizes for the nicest photos contributors.

[Wikimedia-GH] translate medicine articles into your language, 2012-10-23 webinar, was: [Wikimedia-l] Creating content in Dari
by rupert THURNER 06 Oct '12

fyi, this info is from james heilman on wikimedia-l, who is working on an open textbook of medicine, on how they plan to translate english articles in local languages: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2012-October/122204.html some rondom extracts: We at Wikiproject Medicine are working in collaboration with Translators Without Borders (TWB). TWB does humanitarian translation for other NGOs. The project is described more fully here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… And progress can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… If other Wikipedians wish to help I would love that. James Heilman ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Heilman <jmh649(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 7:31 AM Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Creating content in Dari To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org So currently we are translating content into 37 languages. The main help we need is that from Wikipedians to add the content once it is translated into their own languages. Much of the time no content exists however some of the time the new content needs to be integrated with the existing content. If people are interested please sign up here with your language abilities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… We are having a webinar on this topic Oct 23rd for any interested more details will be available soon.
