Subject: [Wmfcc-l] [PRESS] Public schools to integrate Wikipedia into
curriculum
To: Communications Committee <wmfcc-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Following Jan-Bart's visit in Israel. Published today on the print & online
version and here is the English version:
http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=18059
We'll later publish a blog post about it (we are waiting to the
social-media team response).
*Public schools to integrate Wikipedia into curriculum*
*Education Minister Shay Piron meets with Wikimedia Foundation Chairman
Jan-Bart de Vreede, announces that the state's public schools will instruct
teachers on how to teach students to write content for Wikipedia in Hebrew
and other languages.*
Yael Branovsky and Israel Hayom Staff
Online encyclopedia project Wikipedia is a known research shortcut for
students seeking online information and sources for their written
assignments. But now, a new initiative promoted by the Education Ministry
is seeking to have Israeli students produce Wikiepdia entries themselves.
The program was suggested last week during a meeting between Education
Minister Shay Piron and Wikimedia Foundation Chairman Jan-Bart de Vreede,
with the Education Ministry expressing interest in integrating Wikipedia
into its "meaningful learning" initiative.
A statement posted on the Education Ministry's website read, "Meaningful
language learning is characterized by its being active, constructive,
authentic and cooperative. Learners are motivated when they have the
opportunity to engage in activities that they feel are useful in their
lives."
To integrate Wikipedia, history, geography or science teachers would
undergo a professional training program that would instruct them on how to
help students complete Wikipedia entries.
In addition, the ministry is weighing whether to allow students who speak
foreign languages or whose mother tongue is not Hebrew to write entries on
Wikipedia sites in other languages, the goal of which is also to help
improve Israel's image abroad.
The Education Ministry stressed that the initiative is a win-win situation
for all sides. On the one hand, students will help broaden the breadth of
Hebrew Wikipedia's entries, and on the other hand students will be able to
develop the ability to research, write and edit informative articles,
helping to both filter out wrong information and verify what has already
been written.
Worldwide, the program marks the largest joint initiative between public
education and the Wikipedia movement.
"It is important that the education system in Israel leads in innovation,
and this joint effort with Wikipedia is a wonderful opportunity to think
outside the box, which lets students in Israel do impactful things that
others can enjoy," Piron said.
De Vreede praised Israel for championing the integration of Wikipedia into
the education system and academia.

Subject: Media Viewer Update: New features
To: Wikimedia Foundation Multimedia Team <multimedia(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi folks,
Thanks for all your helpful feedback about Media Viewer in recent days. We
really appreciate your candid recommendations on our main discussion page
(1), as well as on English and German Wikipedia pages — and survey comments
confirm many of the issues you and other community members have raised.
The multimedia team is taking your feedback to heart, and we are sorry for
any inconvenience caused by this tool. To respond quickly to the most
frequent requests, we have now pushed back other projects to focus on Media
Viewer for the next few weeks.
Here are some of the new features we are now developing for you, based on
community suggestions.
1. Disable Media Viewer quickly:
* Instant Opt-in: A more prominent way for registered users to disable
Media Viewer, without having to go to preferences. (#703)
* Opt-out for anons: An easy way for anonymous users to disable Media
Viewer, using localstorage. (#704)
2. View images in larger/different sizes:
* View original file: A prominent button to open the original image in your
browser, so you can zoom in to see its details, or download it for re-use.
(#630)
* View different sizes: Prominent links to view images in different sizes
from the Download panel, so you can open them in your browser. (#664)
3. Discover image information:
* Make it easier to find image information: Provide clear visual cues that
more information is available, with links to open the metadata panel. (#706)
* Scrolling down to see more info: Use either up or down arrows to open the
metadata panel below the image, to make it easier to find. (#697)
4. Edit / Learn more on Commons
* Show Commons link to logged out users: Show a prominent link to the
Commons file page to all users, so they can learn more about this image.
(#429)
5. Learn to use Media Viewer:
* Add tooltips to Media Viewer: Show more tooltips in Media Viewer, so that
users can tell what each button will do. (#546)
You can view more details about these features on our planning site. (2)
We are working hard to get these changes completed by tomorrow, so we can
test them before releasing them to production. If all goes well, we expect
to deploy some of them to the English Wikipedia and other Media Viewer
sites by Thursday evening. The rest of them will be deployed the following
week.
Please let us know what you think on our main discussion page (1). Which of
these features seem most useful to you? Are there other critical features
that you think we should consider next?
Thanks again for all you’ve done already to make this a better product. We
are grateful for all the constructive suggestions we’ve received for our
community and look forward to improving Media Viewer together.
Onward!

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] First _draft_ goals for WMF engineering/product
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia
Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
We've got the first DRAFT (sorry for shouting, but can't hurt to
emphasize :)) of the annual goals for the engineering/product
department up on mediawiki.org. We're now mid-point in the process,
and will finalize through June.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2014-15_Goals
Note that at this point in the process, teams have flagged
inter-dependencies, but they've not necessarily been taken into
account across the board, i.e. team A may say "We depend on X from
team B" and team B may not have sufficiently accounted for X in its
goals. :P Identifying common themes, shared dependencies, and
counteracting silo tendencies is the main focus of the coming weeks.
We may also add whole new sections for cross-functional efforts not
currently reflected (e.g. UX standardization). Site performance will
likely get its own section as well.
My own focus will be on fleshing out the overall narrative, aligning
around organization-wide objectives, and helping to manage scope.
As far as quantitative targets are concerned, we will aim to set them
where we have solid baselines and some prior experience to work with
(a good example is Wikipedia Zero, where we now have lots of data to
build targets from). Otherwise, though, our goal should be to _obtain_
metrics that we want to track and build targets from. This, in itself,
is a goal that needs to be reflected, including expectations e.g. from
Analytics.
Like last year, these goals won't be set in stone. At least on a
quarterly basis, we'll update them to reflect what we're learning.
Some areas (e.g. scary new features like Flow) are more likely to be
significantly revised than others.
With this in mind: Please leave any comments/questions on the talk
page (not here). Collectively we're smarter than on our own, so we do
appreciate honest feedback:
- What are our blind spots? Obvious, really high priority things we're
not paying sufficient attention to?
- Where are we taking on too much? Which projects/goals make no sense
to you and require a stronger rationale, if they're to be undertaken at all?
- Which projects are a Big Deal from a community perspective, or from
an architecture perspective, and need to be carefully coordinated?
These are all conversations we'll have in coming weeks, but public
feedback is very helpful and may trigger conversations that otherwise
wouldn't happen.
Please also help to carry this conversation into the wikis in coming
weeks. Again, this won't be the only opportunity to influence, and
I'll be thinking more about how the quarterly review process can also
account for community feedback.
Warmly,
Erik

- Contribuições e organização do trabalho
O concursos WLE foi organizado em cooperação entre o Programa Catalisador
do Brasil e o Grupo de Usuários Wikimedia do Brasil.
Atualmente eu trabalho em tempo parcial para o catalisador e dedico meu
tempo de voluntário ao grupo de usuários.
Grande parte dos meus esforços neste concurso foram desempenhados como
voluntário, incluindo madrugadas e finais de semana acompanhando,
divulgando e planejando atividades para atrair mais colaboradores para o
concurso.
As equipes trabalharam em conjunto na produção das páginas do concurso bem
como na especificação e implementação de ferramentas de acompanhamento,
gestão e análise dos resultados do concurso.
Gostaria de ressaltar as grandes contribuições do Danilo Macedo e Jonas,
membros do grupo de usuários e colaboradores do movimento Wikimedia no
Brasil que foram responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento das ferramentas e bots
especificados para o concurso.

- Exposição
Para expor as melhores fotos do concurso WLE, fechamos uma parceria e
estamos trabalhando na realização de uma exposição fotográfica no evento
internacional de fotografia Paraty em Foco, que será realizado em setembro
de 2014 na cidade histórica de Paraty - Rio de Janeiro
http://paratyemfoco.com/
- Publicação dos resultados
Os resultados serão anunciados nas páginas do concurso e através da
publicação na revista Fotografe Melhor(revista fotográfica de maior
importância e circulação do país) na edição de Agosto com distribuição em
todos os estados brasileiros e uma tiragem de 50.000 exemplares.
Além desses meios, já fechei com alguns contatos da mídia online para a
publicação de matérias com os resultados do concurso.
Estamos finalizando a lista de fotos que serão julgadas pelos jurados do
concurso e até o dia 15 de junho anunciaremos os vencedores e as fotos
selecionadas para a etapa internacional do concurso.
Obrigado a todos pelo apoio!

Olá pessoal,
Visando facilitar a filtragem das fotos e a colaboração da comunidade,
especificamos e implementamos uma ferramenta.
O Danilo fez um excelente trabalho, salvando precioso tempo de todos nós.
Para contribuírem com a criação da lista de fotos que será repassada para
os jurados do concurso WLE, basta acessar o link
http://tools.wmflabs.org/images/?campaign=wle-br e curtir as melhores fotos.
Com base no numero de curtidas e qualidade das fotos, criaremos uma lista
com as melhores fotos para que os jurados possam fazer uma análise mais
crítica num volume menor de fotografias.
Contamos com a colaboração de todos vocês. Em cerca de 30 minutos é
possível passar por todas as 5500 fotos elegíveis para o concurso (dentre
as mais de 7.000 fotos recebidas).
Abraços
Rodrigo Padula
Pessoal,
Gostaria da opinião de vocês no tópico a seguir:
https://br.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:%C3%81gora/Consultoria_para_editais…
Em síntese: as fotos selecionadas de concursos como o WLE farão parte de
uma exposição fotográfica. A proposta é contratar uma consultoria para nos
ajudar a participar de editais que cedem outros espaços e custeiam esse
tipo de exposição, permitindo que essas fotos circulem e ajudem a mobilizar
a galera em outras cidades.
