Subject: [Textbook-l] Wikis Go Printable: Wikimedia/PediaPress/COL/OSI
partnership
To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
Wikimedia textbook discussion <textbook-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
FYI - please forward :-)
WIKIS GO PRINTABLE
New open source technology will bring content from Wikipedia,
WikiEducator, and other wikis to the world of paper.
DECEMBER 13, 2007 - ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA: The Wikimedia Foundation
today announced a partnership that will make it possible to obtain
high quality print and word processor copies of articles from
Wikipedia and other wiki educational resources. The development of the
underlying open source software is supported by the Open Society
Institute (www.soros.org) and the Commonwealth of Learning
(www.col.org), and led by PediaPress.com, a start-up company based in
Germany.
"This technology is of key strategic importance to the cause of free
education world-wide," said Sue Gardner, Executive Director of the
Wikimedia Foundation. "It will make it possible to use and remix wiki
content for a variety of purposes, both in the developing and the
developed world, in areas with connectivity and without."
Deployment of the technology will happen in three stages. The first
stage, launched today, is a public beta test running on
WikiEducator.org of functionality for remixing collections of wiki
pages and downloading them in the PDF format. WikiEducator is a
project hosted by the Commonwealth of Learning and uses the same wiki
technology as Wikipedia.
"These tools have the potential to transform and improve the way we
author and share distance education materials, textbooks and other
learning resources -- I'm thrilled that the WikiEducator will be the
first online community to implement them," said Wayne Mackintosh,
Ph.D., an education specialist for the Commonwealth of Learning and
founder of the WikiEducator project.
The second stage, planned for early 2008, will be the deployment of
the technology on the projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation,
including Wikipedia. At this point, users will also be given the
option to order printed copies of wiki content directly from
PediaPress.com. "The integration into Wikipedia will be a milestone
for print-on-demand technology. Users will literally be empowered to
print their own encyclopedias", according to Heiko Hees, product
manager at PediaPress.com.
The third stage, planned for mid-2008, will be the addition of the
OpenDocument format for word processors to the list of export formats.
"Imagine that you want to use a set of wiki articles in the classroom.
By supporting the OpenDocument format, we will make it easy for
educators to customize and remix content before printing and
distributing it from any desktop computer," Sue Gardner explained.
This work is funded through a US$40,000 grant by the Open Society
Institute.
The technology developed through this cooperation will be available
under an open source license, free for anyone to use for any purpose.
It ties into the MediaWiki platform, the open source technology that
runs Wikipedia. As a result, thousands of wiki platforms around the
world will have the option of providing the same services to their
users.

*edito ergo sum*
http://www.zdnet.be/news.cfm?id=77285
Artikeltje op ZDnet over virussen. Er is daar een vermelding van Wikipedia;
"Malware-auteurs zijn ondertussen ook mee met de Web 2.0-trend, zegt
Kaspersky: "We hebben al geweten dat de links bij een
Wikipedia-artikel rechtstreeks naar een besmette pagina leiden."
Een verassing is dat niet maar wel van belang om daar van bewust van
te zijn als mogelijk motief voor het plaatsen van een externe link.
Als verdediging hebben we een globale en lokale blacklist. Zou wel
nuttig zijn als er een bot zou zijn die automatisch de nieuw
toegevoegde externe links zou opvragen en een poging zou doen om te
testen of daar iets verdachts mee is. Niet dat die alles zou vinden,
het is toch iets dan.

*[[Wikipedia:Stemprocedure#Artikel_5._Hoe_wordt_de_uitslag_bepaald.3F|afspraken

*[[Wikipedia:Stemlokaal/Aanpassing_stemprocedure|de in de aanloop tot deze
stemming aangepaste stemprocedure]]
'''fabeltjes:'''
*"het is beter niet te stemmen want anders wordt het quorum gehaald"
**het quorum geldt per stemoptie, en op dit moment is er weliswaar een grote
meerderheid, maar die is betekenisloos ondanks 35 voorstemmen, omdat er
"'minimaal 50 voorstemmen nodig'' zijn (ja, dat was inderdaad niet aangepast
in de aanloop tot deze stemming, en gebaseerd op de oude regels)
*"het is beter niet te stemmen, want bij niet halen van het quorum mag er
eerder dan 6 maanden worden gestemd over een nieuw voorstel"
**volgens mij pertinent onjuist, want ''ook als het quorum wordt gehaald, is
er sprake van een in goede orde afgeronde stemming, en kan er niet binnen 6
maanden opnieuw over hetzelfde worden gestemd''.
**binnenkort over een ander voorstel stemmen maar ''wie'' zullen dat
schrijven? de huidige stemming is tot stand gekomen dankzij uitgebreid
overleg sinds september door tientallen wikipedianen, en een gecoördineerd
resultaat van een samenwerking van velen. al degenen die hiervoor de moeite
namen stellen imho elke uitgebrachte stem op prijs, of hij nu voor tegen of
neutraal is. het resultaat van het gezamenlijke overleg ligt ter beoordeling
voor, niets meer, niets minder.
**binnen 6 maanden over ''welk'' voorstel stemmen? er is al jaren niets meer
veranderd aan de richtlijnen, terwijl iedereen er al jaren over klaagt! vele
zeer gewaardeerde gebruikers hebben dan ook de moed opgegeven daartoe nog
een poging te wagen. ik verwacht persoonlijk zeker binnenkort geen ander
voorstel tenzij door een enkeling geschreven.
'''(open) vragen:'''
*heb je al gestemd? (zo nee, waarom niet?)
*waarom stemmen de meeste moderatoren niet?
o ja, "wikipedia is geen democratie". maar er worden wel degelijk voor dit
soort gevallen democratische principes gehanteerd en gerespecteerd, daar is
het peilen en stemmen uiteindelijk ook op geënt.
maar: ''democratie werkt alleen indien er van voldoende [[participatie]]
sprake is: '''laat uw stem dus toch vooral horen''''', ook omdat een
complete stemming leermateriaal voor de toekomst biedt, en een incomplete de
al jarenlang vastgeroeste regels in nog hogere mate conserveert... genoeg
nu, hopelijk is er iig meer duidelijkheid omtrent geldigheid en quorum nu.
succes met je keuze en groetjes, [[User:Oscar|oscar]] 21 nov 2007 08:25

Subject: [Foundation-l] Steward elections
To: foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
This is a very informal notice that elections for new stewards are due to
commence on 26 November. Candidates may nominate themselves from today:
please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/elections_2007 for
instructions, and
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/Application_guidelines for who can
apply. In brief, you must be above the age of 18 on the final day of the
election (16th December), have an account on Meta-Wiki, and be willing to
identify yourself to the Foundation.
Anyone with three or more months experience on any project may vote or
stand, as long as there is a link between their Meta account and their main
project account.
As well as electing new stewards, the current ones are also being
reconfirmed, as is steward policy. Current stewards should write something
in their candidate page if they haven't already.
Thanks for your time.
