Hello,
i would like to let you know about this very new platform I launched. It
aims to fund, license, release professional CC/GFDL works:
https://yooook.net/
You are welcome to tell me critics, and let people around you who might
be interested in it know about.
Thank you for your interest.
Best regards,
Camille.
According to http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1636517, This page
insists that Wikimedia Korea has been approved in Sep 12 2009 by Wikimedia
Foundation. I didn't see any notice about Wikimedia Korea.
Also, Korean community is not going discussion for creating Wikimedia South
Korea, which was discussed at [[meta:Wikimedia South Korea]]. But That page
give a nuance that Wikimedia Korea is commercial organization. (name is
written as"Wiki Korea Limited")
Korean community never heard that. Therefore I suggest we should invalidate
that page.
Thank you.

LiquidThreads will be deploying in a small live environment very soon,
according to a conversation I had with werdna day before yesterday.

Hello,
We wanted to have a more informal forum for discussing Wikimedia
issues with Board members, so the three new Wikimedia Trustees (Arne,
Matt, and myself) are hosting an open meeting on IRC in #wikimedia
this Friday.
Where : #wikimedia
When : Friday September 11, 1800-1900 UTC
(11:00-12:00 PST / 14:00-15:00EST / 20:00-21:00CEST)
Other Board members will hopefully be there as well; we picked a time
when we knew all of the new members could attend. Please join with
any thoughts or questions you have for the Board or about Wikimedia in
general. If you'd like to see something on the agenda, whether or not
you can attend in person, please add it here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_meetings#September_open_meeti…
Since we only have an hour, we will try to keep to the agenda. New
topics brought up after noon UTC the day of the meeting will be
addressed on-wiki if we run out of time.
I'm looking for someone to help moderate the chat. If interested,
please reply offlist. Thanks!
SJ
Here:
http://wikipedia.wp.pl/
you will find a branded copy of Polish Wikipedia, launched today by
Wirtualna Polska (wp.pl), an online portal which is a subsidiary of
Telekomunikacja Polska (which in turn is a subsidiary of France Telecom)
- a result of the recent Orange - WMF agreement.
Visible changes:
- skin is obviously different
- no editing allowed
- no source view
- "Witamy w Wikipedii WP" - the banner says "Welcome to WP Wikipedia"
- article history link points to the plwiki history page
- no red links visible
- "Copyright 1995-2009 Wirtualna Polska" notice at the bottom
Official press release[1] (excerpts):
"Wirtualna Polska has developed a special web portal that offers access
to the selected information and services of Wirtualna Polska as well
as Wikipedia articles in an innovative way.
A combination of news articles presented within thematic services of
Wirtualna Polska - informational, business, educational, technical,
entertainment - with encyclopedic resources of Wikipedia enables
Internet users to expand and update their knowledge."
Bartłomiej Krawczyk, WP project manager, said [square brackets are mine]:
"Wirtualna Polska consists of tens of specialised Web portals,
cooperating with the most important news outlets countrywide and abroad.
This makes Wirtualna Polska a huge source of information. That
potential combined with the current offering of Wikipedia,
containing over 633 thousand articles enables Internet
use to a wholly new extent. (...) "
"We have limited the possibility of accessing editing options [of
Wikipedia] because not every Internet user is interested in adding their
own articles to the encyclopedia or in updating existing ones. What is
important is that all changes and new definitions in [ Polish ]
Wikipedia are visible on the Wirtualna Polska website. Wikipedia.wp.pl
is an example of a new business model. It combines expansion of the
content of [ Wirtualna Polska's ] portal through a direct connection
with Wikipedia articles with the financial support for the Wikimedia
Foundation, including advertisement revenue." [2]
There is also a mention about two-way cross-linking of the WP and
Wikipedia content on the WP website. It even goes on to say "articles in
the free encyclopedia will be linking to the related WP stories".
A press release stresses out that all advertising on the site has been
specifically approved by the Wikimedia Foundation.
One of the news websites has published a note titled "Wirtualna Polska
has >>acquired<< Wikipedia" and specifically mentions the lack of
editing possibility as well as the advertising that might be put on the
site[3].

My error: The sentence should read "... yet must *comply* with all relevant
US employment laws...."
This is one of those instances in which the author knew a word was missing
from the draft and intended to add it, but somehow managed to post the
unedited version anyway. Sorry.

Austin Hair extended me the courtesy of taking me out of the moderated
posting queue.
In light of my recent blogging gaffe (though amended the same day my error
was confirmed), I look forward to continuing my message of pressing for
ethical and professional non-profit governance, with a tone and style that
are neither insulting nor unduly inflammatory. I hope that this will
encourage at least a few who have tuned me out in the past to perhaps take
another listen.

It would appear that the Wikimedia Foundation is actively seeking to sub-let
some of its office space?
http://akahele.org/2009/09/wikimedia-foundation-subletting-space/
That's curious, considering they had "outgrown" space in January 2009, such
that they needed to shuttle Ruth and Frank Stanton's money over to Wikia's
accounts receivable to expand their footprint. Sue Gardner, Jimmy Wales,
Michael Snow... someone please set us straight! Comment on the blog that
scooped this story!
