Subject: [Wikimedia-l] conversations between WMF and non-English projects
To: wikimedia-l <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi,
In the 2012-13 WMF plan document I saw an interesting thing:
"We’ve hosted key community stakeholders such as English Wikipedia’s
ArbCom and Portuguese Wikipedia’s top contributors, in an effort to
better understand and respond to issues they're facing." (page 41).
I was very happy to read this. In general, I hope that such focused
meetings will be held with more language communities. I don't think
that I need to explain why :)
I don't know how did the meeting with the Portuguese Wikipedians go; I
suppose that it was good. I don't remember that I read anything about
it in blogs or mailing lists, but I may have missed it. Maybe what I'm
about to write is known already, but I'll say it anyway.
An important thing in such meetings is to have a community member who
contributes to the Wikipedia in that language AND to the English
Wikipedia. This is needed because the Foundation people are probably
familiar with policies, customs and jargon in the English Wikipedia.
Even simple terms, like "Village Pump", are not necessarily familiar
to people who primarily edit in other languages; not all Wikipedias
have ArbComs; not all Wikipedias prohibit voting; etc. Such a person
will be able to "translate" between the English Wikipedia terms and
the local Wikipedia terms. Without such a person misunderstandings
will definitely happen, even if everybody knows the English language
well.
That's it, hope it helps.

Hello everyone!
We are in need of revamping the Wikimania Scholarships Process, and your
help is needed! Please participate in the discussion on meta[1]:

Talk to you on meta -
Jessie
BACKGROUND:
Every year, the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia Chapters, and outside
organizations sponsor the attendance of individuals to the international
Wikimania conference. In 2012, over 150 scholarships were awarded to
recipients from over 60 countries. These scholarship recipients were chosen
from 1,113 applications. Each recipient was selected primarily on the basis
of his/her participation in the Wikimedia projects and his/her future goals
for participating in the Wikimedia movement. The scholarship recipients
were chosen through a confidential application and selection process run by
the Wikimania Scholarship Review Committee. The committee was composed by
Wikimedia volunteers and one Wikimedia Foundation staff.[2]

CAPTCHA estar em inglês. Abraços, Tom

Subject: Captcha for non-English speakers II
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
how are you? I'd like to know about the possibility of solving an old
issue with CAPTCHA for Wikipedias in languages other than English.
This bug
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5309
was created in 2006. There is a discussion here about having CAPTCHA
in other languages from February 2012
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/51951/
but it seems there was no conclusion. After working on campus with new
editors in Brazil, I've checked this is a real obstacle, since most
people here cannot ready English at all.
I'd like to know if there are plans to solve this issue - I hope I
don't sound rude, maybe this can be a minor issue when we don't see
the difficulties people from a different place can face. I think this
is important for Wikipedias other than the English one (just read
people comments in the bug) and we can be loosing new contributors
because of their first impressions. Thanks,
Tom

Pera, mas o problema é ir para recife depois do Red?
O encontro de redes é muito mais importante que o Campus Party, se for tal
como o de SPaulo, o FISL é mais importante que o CP, CP é só diversão
barata, se for para agradar a telefônica, tudo bem, mas não acho que é mais
que necessário enviar 1 voluntário da Wikimedia Brasil, 2 da Wikipedia.
Pensando em prioridade e networking, eu já teria mandado o CP pra casa do
chapéu...

Hi all,
hope you're all well.
Does anyone know anyone from Wikimedia who will be attending the Internet
Governance Forum in Baku (Azerbaijan)?
I just got this email from the Center for Technology and Society of FGV-RIO
(Brazil) and they'll be organizing a workshop "how to engage users" and are
inviting Wikimedia Foundation to speak.
Is anyone attending IGF and would be available for speaking there?
please find details below (IGF will take place on 6-9 November 2012)
(No.120) How to engage users?
Status:
Accepted
Workshop Theme:
Internet Governance for Development [IG4D]
Workshop Theme:
Internet Governance for Development [IG4D]
Theme Question:
Thematic Cluster 2 "Enabling Environment"
Consice Description of Workshop:
Gradually and slowly as we merge the digital divide, it is possible to
envision the Internet as an ultimate leveler, representing one playing
field, where, theoretically, everybody has the potential to interact. But
how to engage users on political debates? How to use the net to bring them
to the negotiation table? There are indeed, a few examples of Internet
serving as a tool for empowerment. In some countries, public sector have
been fostering such initiatives, as the case of Iceland, where an online
public consultation was held for drafting it's new constitution. Or Brazil,
where a several consultations are being held either to discuss digital
rights or to monitor implementation of public policies, such as the
initiative from the so called “Gabinete Digital”, where citizens where able
to demand policies from the governor in a real virtual
dialogue.Entrepreneurship has also played a role in terms of users
engagement. As the case of Ushahidi, a remarkable open source web platform,
that had allowed users to crowd source information about violent “hotspots”
and spreading rampages, which was all sent via email or mobile
text-messages, generating an online interactive mapping of the crisis, or
the so called “activist mapping”.Users have also been involved in creative
usages of the internet for education and others forms of exercising
citizenship. Wikipedia is the most paradigmatic example, once, besides
engaging users for the production of content, it was also one of the
leaders at SOPA/PIPA online protests. In terms of social news, Reddit is
another interesting example. Nonetheless, there has been no systematic
approach or proper exchange of knowledge about mechanisms that are being
invented to engage users. Assessments like that are important to evaluate
and try to promote other initiatives to empower users.Therefore, the main
goal of this workshop is to discuss and evaluate how open online
consultations and users led initiatives have been creating mechanisms to
engage users on the Internet Government debates and other initiatives that
represent the usage of ICT for political participation. For achieving such
goal, this workshop will gather speakers with different experiences on the
topic. In a multistakeholder approach, it will gather representatives from
governments, companies, the technical community, academia and civil society
from both developed and developing countries. Active moderation will foster
debate amongst those in Baku and encourage remote interventions.
Organiser(s) Name:
Center for Technology and Society at Fundação Getúlio VargasPart of the
Fundação Getulio Vargas Law School in Rio de Janeiro, CTS is the only
research center in Brazil specifically aimed at dealing with the interplay
of law, technology and society. It is engaged in different research and
education projects, and committed to interdisciplinary approach. Its
collaborations include anthropologists, computer scientists, economists,
and media executives.Among its different projects, the CTS is responsible
for helping Brazilian Ministry of Justice to create an online consultation
process to debate the privacy law, the internet civil rights framework and
is also leading a research to use cybercafes as a platform to implement
surveys on public policies assessments at low income communities. CTS also
acts as a consultant to several branches of the Brazilian government such
as the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee, the National Institute of
Technology and the Ministry of Education. It is engaged in developing
projects to promote access to knowledge, protect digital rights and study
the democratization of cultural production through technology.AccessAccess
is a NGO premised on the belief that political participation and the
realization of human rights in the 21st century is increasingly dependent
on access to the internet and other forms of technology. Founded in the
wake of the 2009 Iranian post-election crackdown, Access teams with digital
activists and civil society groups internationally to build their technical
capacity and to help them advocate globally for their digital rights.
Access provides thought leadership and practical policy recommendations in
the broader field of internet freedom, and based on that expertise
mobilizes its global movement of citizens to campaign for an open internet
accessible to all.Access' Global Movement for Digital Freedom is made up of
ordinary people from all over the world. Many of them are normal internet
users without much experience in either human rights or technology, but
understanding that technology can be a powerful platform which gives us all
additional strength to achieve greater participation, accountability and
transparency.
