Boas inspirações de nossos colegas alemães.... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Moleski &lt;sebastian.moleski(a)wikimedia.de&gt; Date: Thu, May 7, 2009 at 11:02 AM Subject: [Chapters] What Wikimedia Deutschland did last year To: Chapters mailing list &lt;chapters(a)wikimedia.ch&gt;ch>, "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)" < internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;gt;, chapters-reports(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi, Wikimedia Deutschland's annual report for the year 2008 is now available for download at http://wikimedia.de/fileadmin/wiki/images/Downloads/Taetigkeitsbericht_2008…. There's at the moment only a German version. So far, we have not considered producing an English version because we're unsure about demand. Some of the highlights from the report: * we relaunched the school project to promote media literacy in education and started "Generation 50plus" as an outreach program for older generations * at the "YOU 2008" youth fair, we presented Wikipedia and explained how to properly use its contents * in cooperation with Wissen Media Verlag, a publishing house, a one volume edition of the most popular Wikipedia articles was published in print and sold in bookstores * a cooperation with the German federal archive resulted in over 100,000 images being published on Commons under a free license * through the Zedler award, co-sponsored by the renowned publisher "Spektrum der Wissenschaft" and the "Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur", we recognized two outstanding scientific articles written for Wikipedia * Wikipedia Academy in Berlin strengthened relationships between the chapter, the community, and academia * flagged revisions, a collaboration between Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimédia France, and the Wikimedia Foundation, went live on German Wikipedia helping advance the quality of the content * we supported active contributors to the Wikimedia projects through book stipends, a digitalization budget, and financial assistance for community events * we invested heavily in the Toolserver cluster to improve reliability and stability of many tools used within Wikipedia and Commons * total membership went up by about 19% (466), total revenues (including donations) went up by about 40% (total €368.875,57) You can find further details about these topics and much more in the report. We also have printed copies which we'll ready send out to whoever requests one (send an e-mail to info(a)wikimedia.de).
