Thank you, Gerard. We are certainly looking forward to working with all
open source and open projects relating to anything Wikimedia.

Hoi,
You may want to consider helping the meta translators. The Translate
extension that is used by
translatewiki.net is usable and used for the
kind
of texts that are used in the coming Fundraiser.
There are several relevant benefits; a much better user interface makes it
a
lot more usable, the statistics at
translatewiki.net show clearly what the
status is for non translated texts,
translatewiki.net integrates its
messages with software all the time so it would make your work easier as
well.
Just a thought.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hello Wikimedians,
As many of you are aware, we are now two months away from the Fundraiser
for
the Wikimedia Foundation, 2010. We have lofty goals, and we can meet
them
and exceed them!
The meta translators are already actively engaged in the annual drive to
distribute our messages, but we would like to point everyone to the
developments we've made in banner messages- from creation to commentary
to
the ones that will go live for test and for the
drive itself in November.
It's one of our goals to make sure that all volunteers know that there is
a
place for them in the Fundraising drive.
We've started the setup on
meta[1]
for both banner submission[2], statistical analysis[3], and grouping
volunteers together that would like to find specific focus and work in
that
area[4].
This year the Wikimedia Foundation is taking a proactive stance in
reaching
out to each and every Wikimedia project and
volunteer to find innovation,
collaboration, and collation of ideas from the community driven process.
The staff working on this is comprised of long-time Wikimedians with as
much
care and concern for the success of this drive as the volunteers, and we
want you to actively participate and have a voice.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to
others,
talk to us. Engagement is what we strive for,
without each other we
would
never had made Wikimedia succeed. Everyone is
welcome to contact any of
us
on staff at any time with a timely response to
follow. We actively
encourage focusing discussion on meta so we can all work together.
See you on the wiki!
