મિત્રો,
આપ સહુ જાણો છો તેમ આપણા ગુજરાતી વિકિ પર ૧૬૦૦૦ કરતા વધારે ગુજરાતનાં ગામ
વિષેના લેખ છે. એમાંથી ઘણા ખરા ગામનાં લેખમાં લખેલા અક્ષાંશ અને રેખાંશ જે તે
ગામનાં હોવાને બદલે મોટેભાગે એ ગામનાં તાલુકા મથકનાં છે. જો કે આ કંઇ બહુ ખોટુ
તો નથી જ પરંતુ એને લીધે આપણા વિકી પાસેની માહિતિ થોડી ગેરમાર્ગે દોરનારી છે
એવી સામાન્ય છાપ પડે છે. આ માટે શક્ય એટલા વધારે ચોક્કસ અક્ષાંશ - રેખાંશ
શોધીને વિકીના બઘા ગામનાં લેખમાં એ માહિતિ મઠારવા માટે એક અક્ષાંશ - રેખાંશ
સુધારણા અભિયાન શરૂ થવા જઇ રહ્યુ છે.
આ માટેની વદારે માહિતિ માટે તમે ચોતરા પર વાંચી શકો છો. લેખ ઘણા બઘા છે એટલે
ઘણા બઘા લોકોના સહયોગની જરૂર છે.
આભાર,
વિહંગ

Thanks are due to the GU faculty, specifically Prof. Alito Sequeira; Prof. Madhavi Sardesai; Prof. Priyadarshini Tadkodkar; and Dr. Gopakumar.

મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર હાલમાં જ ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણીની "સૌરાષ્ટ્રની રસધાર ૧" નું અક્ષરાંકન પૂર્ણ થયું છે, અન્ય પરિયોજના "રસિકવલ્લભ" નું અક્ષરાંકન ૭૦% જેટલું પૂર્ણ થયું છે અને તેના પદો સહભાગી સભ્યોને વહેંચાઈ ગયા છે. આ સાથે પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૩૨ હેઠળ ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી રચિત સ્વતંત્રતાની લડતમાં જોશ જગાવવા રચાયેલા શૌર્યગીતોનો સંગ્રહ "સિંધુડો" સ્રોત પર ચડાવવાનું કાર્ય હાથમાં લઈએ છીએ. આ કાવ્ય સંગ્રહ પર અંગ્રેજ સરકારે પ્રતિબંધ પણ લગાવ્યો હતો. ગુજરાતી ભાષાની આ વીર કૃતિને વિકિસ્રોત પર ચડાવવાના આ સહકાર્યમાં આપ સૌ વીરો પણ નીચે આપેલી કડી (લિંક) પર જઈ જોડાઈ શકો છો.
https://gu.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%9A%E0%AA%B0%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%9A%E0%AA%B…
આભાર.

મિત્રો,
સહભાગી મિત્રોના સહકાર્યને કારણે વિકિસ્રોત પર ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણીની "સૌરાષ્ટ્રની રસધાર ૧" ચઢાવાનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ થયું છે. લોકસાહિત્ય દ્વારા સૌરાષ્ટ્રના સાંસ્કૃતિક અને રાજકીય ઈતિહાસની ઝાંખી આપતું આ પુસ્તક જુના કાળના સૌરાષ્ટ્રિય જીવન વિષે માહિતી આપે છે. આ પરિયોજના ૧૩-૦૯-૨૦૧૩ ના દિવસે ચાલુ થઈ અને ૨૧-૧૦-૨૦૧૩ ના દિવસે તે પૂર્ણ થઈ છે.
પુસ્તકના અમુક પ્રકરણો પહેલેથી મોજૂદ હતાં. બાકી પ્રકરણોને આ પરિયોજનામાં અશોકભાઈ વૈષ્ણવ (અમદાવાદ), કાર્તિકભાઈ મિસ્ત્રી, સુશાંત (મુંબઈ) ઉન્નતીબેન સાંઘાણી (બહેરીન), અશોકભાઈ મોઢવાડીયા (જૂનાગઢ) એ સાથે મળી પૂર્ણ કર્યા હતાં. સૌ મિત્રોનો ખૂબ ખૂબ આભાર.
ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણીની આ રસભરી કૃતિને વાંચવા ને માણવા સૌને આમંત્રણ છે
સુશાંત સાવલા

મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર હાલમાં પરિયોજના ૨૮ "વનવૃક્ષો" પૂર્ણ થઈ છે. પરિયોજના ૩૦ - "સૌરાષ્ટ્રની રસધાર ૧" ૮૮% જેટલી પૂર્ણ થઈ છે અને તેના પ્રકરણો મિત્રોને વહેંચાઈ ગયા છે. આ સાથે નવી પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૩૧ હેઠળ દયારામ કૃત ભક્તિ પદ સંગ્રહ "રસિકવલ્લભ" ચઢાવવામાં આવી રહ્યું છે. જે મિત્રોને સહકાર્યના આ કાર્યમાં સહભાગી થવું હોય તેઓ નીચે દર્શાવેલી કડી પર સંપર્ક કરશો.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Notification about Wikimedia user account security
issue
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
See also:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/October_2013_private_data_security_issue
On October 1, 2013, we learned about an implementation error that made
private user information (specifically, user email addresses, password
hashes, session tokens, and last login timestamp) for approximately
37,000 Wikimedia project users accessible to volunteers with access to
the Wikimedia "LabsDB" infrastructure.
LabsDB, launched in May 2013, is designed to give volunteers the
ability to write tools and generate reports that make use of data from
our databases in real-time. This supports bottom-up innovation by the
Wikimedia community. As part of this process, private data is
automatically redacted before volunteers are given access to the data.
Unfortunately, for some of Wikimedia’s wikis[1], the database triggers
used to redact private data failed to take effect due to a schema
incompatibility, and LabsDB users had access to private user data for
some user accounts in these specific wiki databases. As of October 1,
228 users have access to LabsDB, and the window of availability of
this data was May 29, 2013 to October 1, 2013.
This issue was discovered and reported by a trusted volunteer, and
access to the data in question was revoked within 15 minutes of the
report. We have no evidence to suggest that the private data in
question was exported in bulk or used for malicious purposes, but we
cannot definitively exclude the possibility. As a precautionary
measure, we have invalidated all affected user sessions, and are
requiring affected users to change their password on their next login.
We have also sent an email notification to affected users with a
confirmed email address.
We regret this mistake. LabsDB is still a new part of our
infrastructure, and we will fully audit the redaction process, so as
to minimize any risk of a future mistake of this nature.
Sincerely,
Erik Moeller
Vice President of Engineering & Product Development
