Welcome back // for Indaba reps
by Sandister Tei 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi I'd like to welcome Indaba reps back. I hope you had a good time. Here are a few things I would love for you to help the community with: 1. Please try and put together short blog post to sell this another achievement WMGH has marked. 2. Please write a short report. We are trying to put all our achievements and projects together in writing. The group needs to reflect on our years in operation. 3. In case you think someone will be a good contact for this community that we don't already know of, you can introduce them to us. 4. Please, through our collective work we are going places. But events like Indaba are not only for WMGH it's for your personal benefit as well. Please, don't fall asleep or get complacent, continue to contribute to the community. I think more things are ahead. *Berchie*, it's been a while we heard you in the list or you helped out do something. Let's hear more of you. 5. Please, whatever you brought from SA, let me have my share. Thank you. Regards, Sandister Tei ----- Cardiff Uni // JOMEC // International Journalism www.sandistertei.com | +447448223686

For Android users! - Enock ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Garry <dgarry(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 6:28 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Revamped Wikipedia app for Android now live! To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi everyone, If you love Wikipedia and have an Android phone, you're in for a treat! Today we've released a revamped Wikipedia for Android app, now available on Google Play <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia>. Our new features include: - *Speed* - Our new, native app allows you to browse and edit Wikipedia faster than ever before. - *Editing* - You can edit Wikipedia on the app. Logged in or logged out, we thank you for all your contributions. - *Recent pages* - We provide you with your reading history, so you can tap as many links as you like without ever getting lost. - *Saved pages* - You can save select pages for offline reading and browse them even when you don't have a data connection. - *Share* - Use your existing social networking apps to share in the sum of all human knowledge. - *Language support* - The app allows you to seamlessly switch to reading Wikipedia written in any language. - *Wikipedia Zero* - We've partnered with cellular carriers around the world to provide Wikipedia free of data charges to users in many developing areas. Coming soon: - *Night mode* - We've gotten lots of great beta user feedback; one feature people love is reading Wikipedia in darker environments. The inverted colour scheme offered by night mode will make that much easier. - *Discussions* - Talk pages are an important part of Wikipedia for both new users and experienced editors alike. We're bringing them to the app. This release is just the beginning! We're still working hard on creating new features to make the app the best Wikipedia reading and editing experience out there. Please help us improve this app by sending a note to our mailing list, mobile-android-wikipedia(a)wikimedia.org. Thank you!
