Hello!
I'm happy for my group and especially for my friend Tasos Paliouras, who is
a teacher at the 4th High School of Saint Dimitrios in Athens, for
completing for the third consecutive year voluntarily the educational
program of our Wikiclub there. Many congratulations are in order to him
and his students, but also to the School Administration for the completion
of the educational program.
You can see the excellent work of our Wikipedia's little editors on their
blogs:

I was happy to read this announcement
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2019-May/092570.html>
by
Amir regarding improvements for typing in African languages on Wikimedia
projects. (I hope that the translation of the subject of this week's email
is correct.)
I thought that this
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-May/092083.html>
was
an interesting WMF Tech Talk regarding WMF and W3C. I felt that it was
encouraging that WMF staff on the call wanted to support the needs and
wishes of Wikimedia readers and contributors. Thank you to WMF for
publicizing this meeting and for collaborating with W3C.
Thank you to engineering and technical staff who take initiative to respond
to problems in a timely and constructive way. Someone who comes to mind is
James Forrester, who has endured years of complaints regarding
VisualEditor. Over time WMF has polished the tool's rough edges, greatly
improved its performance, and added significant functionality. I know that
hearing a barrage of complaints can be difficult, such as happens in this
video
clip <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBrK7mqceBs> from *Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine* that is hosted on Youtube. (Yes, another *Star Trek* video. The
title of the episode is shown at the start of the video, which is why it
displays "Honor Among Thieves".) I appreciate James' calm demeanor,
willingness to listen, responsiveness, patience, and perseverance.
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any
language.
Pine
