Need Pictures in Atlanta?
by Kelvin Williams 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I am volunteering my services as a Photographer to the WikiNews outlet. If anyone needs photographs of any event in Atlanta for an article they are writing, please contact me at kelvin(a)williamschadwell.com. I'm available virtually 24/7 with notice. I would ideally like to find a WikiNews contributor in Atlanta to work with, as I can take pictures but lack the journalistic ability to write an article. Thanks, Kw

Tech updates: code updates going live to Wikimedia sites
by Brion Vibber 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

After a few weeks of bug fixes, we've caught up with MediaWiki development code review and I'm pushing out an update to the live sites. This fixes a lot of little bugs, and hopefully doesn't cause introduce too many new ones. :) * Change logs: http://ur1.ca/2rah (r47458 to r48811) As usual in addition to lots of offline and individual testing among our staff and volunteer developers, we've done a shakedown on http://test.wikipedia.org/ -- and as usual we can fully expect a few more issues to have cropped up that weren't already found. Don't be alarmed if you do find a problem; just let us know at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or on the tech IRC channels (#wikimedia-tech on Freenode). We should be resuming our weekly update schedule soon -- I won't be doing a mega-crosspost like this every week! -- and will continue to improve our pre-update staging and shakedown testing to keep disruption to a minimum and awesome improvements to a maximum. I'd also like to announce that we've started a blog for Wikimedia tech activity & MediaWiki development, in part because I want to make sure community members can easily follow what we're working on and give feedback before we push things out: * http://techblog.wikimedia.org/ I'd very much like to make sure that we've got regular contacts among the various project communities who can help coordinate with us on features, bugs, and general thoughts which might affect some projects distinctly from others. -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) CTO, Wikimedia Foundation San Francisco

Tempodivalse's Writing contest [en wikinews]
by bawolff 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Just wanted to spread the message that [[user:Tempodivalse]] is holding a writing contest. The idea is that you write one article a day, and the person who lasts the longest without missing a day, wins. (you are allowed to write two in one day, and then miss one day though) There is also a contest for reviewers, where you review articles (requires you to already have permission to review articles though). For more details see http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Tempodivalse/Writing_contest Competition starts on march 31, but entry after that is permitted. --- -bawolff

We are regularly doing interviews, and I know from some who have done them the biggest headache is turning an audio recording into a text article. Please refer to my post on this on the Water Cooler. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#CallGraph_fo r_Skype.2C_and_interview_transcribing Brian.
