*Call for referendum*: The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of
the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether
members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in
personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen
particular types of images strictly for their own account.
Further details and educational materials will be available shortly.
The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be
conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum
details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will
be posted at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_filter_referendum
shortly.
For the coordinating committee,
Philippe (WMF)

DEADLINE TO APPLY: JUNE 6th
To: discuss(a)freeculture.org
Hey there, a lot of you probably know about this, but it would break
my heart if someone missed out so here's a copy of the "last chance to
apply" announcement from our good friend and proud SFC alum, Ben
Moskowitz
====================================================
Knight-Mozilla News Challenge
DEADLINE TO APPLY: June 6th
http://drumbeat.org/journalism
Working together, technologists and journalists can innovate faster.
The Knight Foundation and Mozilla are seeking fresh ideas for
web-based journalism. Enter the Knight-Mozilla News Challenge and we
will help turn your back-of-napkin sketches into working software.
We'll pair you with collaborators and help get your ideas off the
ground. We are even offering paid fellowships inside newsrooms at BBC,
Al-Jazeera, The Guardian, Boston.com, and Zeit Online.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and harness the
transformative potential of the open web. To get started, simply
submit an idea to one of the following three challenges before June
6th:
•Unlocking Video
http://mzl.la/unlocking-video
How would you bring the best qualities of the web to news video?
•Beyond Comment Threads
http://mzl.la/beyond-comment-threads
How would you create more dynamic spaces for news discussion?
•People-Powered News
http://mzl.la/people-powered-news
How would you improve the way we create and consume news?
We don't need a full proposal—just a good idea. Learn more at
http://drumbeat.org/journalism, follow @knightmozilla, and join the
community mailing list: http://mzl.la/mojolist.
What's your idea?

Hey folks.
For those of you not following bug 21919, the google news sitemap
extension has progressed quite a bit. This extension was developed to
give Wikinews 2 features:
*(primarily) An alternative means of informing google what articles
are published. Currently google screen scrapes the main page, this
extension would provide a more machine readable interface for google.
*It would also provide us with per category RSS feeds that are not
toolserver hacks.
^demon recently enabled it on test wikipedia. I encourage everyone to
test it out, make sure it works etc. The url is
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GoogleNewsSitemap for the xml
sitemap, and http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GoogleNewsSitemap?feed=atom
for the rss feed. It takes several other options, similar to DPL. See
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleNewsSitemap for more
information.
At the moment, the version at testwiki has two issues - the flagged
revs related options don't work, and certain system messages (things
in mediawiki namespace) are replaced with <name of message>. Hopefully
both those issues will be fixed soon. If you find anything else,
please let me know.
Cheers,
bawolff
