Fwd: [Wikimania-l] Discussions at Wikimania
by Nkansah Rexford 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford | sent from smartphone ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Lodewijk" <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> Date: Jul 7, 2014 12:33 AM Subject: [Wikimania-l] Discussions at Wikimania To: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear all, Summary: Please share which topics you would like to discuss at Wikimania! (feel free to forward this email to relevant mailing lists) At Wikimania, I would like to try to increase the number planned and facilitated discussions directly relating to the wikimedia projects (rather than meta-discussions). For that we have (Thanks Ed!) set up the 'Discussion Room' as an experiment. For a full day, we will dedicate one room to current, relevant and facilitated round table discussions. However, to make sure we have current and relevant topics, I need your help! These discussions will be round table discussions, involving everyone in the room (ideally), so no panel discussions where you can lean back and let a happy few do all the heavy lifting. Therefore, it is important that you care about the topics! *What topics*, directly relating to the Wikimedia projects, *would you like to discuss at Wikimania*? Would you like to talk about 'Original Research on Wikipedia'? Or maybe you would like to discussion about the perceived hostility of the Wikimedia Commons community? Perhaps the way notability is handled in different languages is more to your taste? Or mentoring programs? If you're interested, please do two things: 1) sign up as interested on the session page <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Discussion_Room> (updates will be posted there too) 2) tell us the topics that would make you participate the discussion! Finally, I am also looking for a little help in the organization - I need one or two people to help with facilitation (if you know someone good, just email me offlist), and it would be awesome if we could have one or two people each session who can help with taking notes effectively - so that we can summarize some discussion outcomes. Thanks for your help! Best, Lodewijk / effeietsanders _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

You can support or decline on here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File… For me, its the most beautiful historic item I've ever taken picture of. It has nothing special, but I just like it. lol If you don't like it, vote it down. I'll learn to take better pictures next time.

WIKI INDABA REPORT
by Felix Nartey 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Greetings, Wiki Indaba was a gathering of African Wikimedians and Open Source Advocates. The convention sought to realize, analyze and address situations peculiar to the continent while churning ideas for the future of Wikimedia projects on the continent. There was a representation from 10 countries spanning the entire regions on the continent. Ghana, Nigeria and Cote Divoire, Cameroon, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, Egypt and Tunisia and South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Malawi represented the Western, Central, Eastern, Northern and Southern African Regions respectively. There was also a representation from the Wikimedia Foundation and other countries such as Iran, France and Italy, resulting in a total of about 35 participants at the conference. Day1 The general focus for the first day was to introduce and acquaint ourselves with the other participants while each country presented challenges and success stories that pertained to their specific countries. In the evening we had dinner at the House of Baobab. The restaurant had delicacies sprawling the entire African continent. The flagship jollof and bissap juice (popularly known in Ghana as sobolo) from the West African Region were served. Not forgetting the fried plantain with tomato sauce that was served as a starter. Day 2 Day 2 started with great enthusiasm as we were gaining into the main agenda for the convention. Sectional meetings were hosted, ideas presented and trainings on more specific related programs. Success stories, suggestions and further education were done in these sessions. The day wouldn’t have been any better without the excellent film show on copyright by the creative commons team at the Jozi Hub. It was great insight to Wikimedians, artists and producers who were present. Day 3 Day three was result oriented. The focus was on addressing the many concerns that were raised and drawing conclusions on the way forward. This was facilitated through allotment of groups which were tasked to solve or perhaps provide solutions to topics or issues that were deemed essential to the gathering. Day 3 was doleful as many were just not in the mood to come to a close to the summit I dubbed, “the gathering of the world’s most positive minds” Generally I will say it was an event worth attending and hope it hosts more Africans next year so as to increase the pool of knowledge and ideas that will be shared.

Wikipedia Android App Translation
by Nkansah Rexford 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi, I just translated the Wikipedia Android App into Akan here: Translate Wiki <https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=out-wikimed…> It needs review. If you're good in twi, you're good to review. I strictly went neither with Akuapem nor Fante nor Asante. I just translated to Akan. No 'foɔ' and those sort of things nor everything 'w' things like the Akuapem. I hope we can stick to the way it is now. If you have time to review, do so.
