મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર સહકાર્ય પરિયોજના - "સોરઠી સંતો, ભાગ પહેલો" ની ભૂલશુદ્ધિનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણતાને આરે છે. આ સાથે પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૭૮ હેઠળ દિવાન શાકેરરામ દલપતરામ રચિત હાસ્ય નવલકથા 'ઘાસીરામ કોટવાલ'ને સ્રોત પર ચડાવવાનું કાર્ય હાથમાં લઈએ છીએ.
ગુજરાતી ભાષાની આ સુંદર કૃતિને સ્રોત પર ચઢાવવાના કાર્યમાં જોડાવા માટે આપ નીચેની કડી પર જઈ વધુ માહિતી મેળવી શકશો.

Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Changes to the 'Save' button
To: Wikimedia Education <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,

*Nutshell: The big, blue button will soon say "Publish page" instead of
"Save page", because when you click it, the contents get published on the
internet.*
I apologize for cross-posting this to the GLAM and Education lists:
A long-requested change to the "Save" button may finally happen towards the
end of March. This is a button that anyone leading a workshop about
editing is going to talk about, so I wanted to make sure that you didn't
get surprised by this change.
Last year, the WMF looked into an old request to clarify the language on
the "Save" button, which confuses some new contributors. The main problem
is that it is unclear whether "Save" means "save a private copy" (as it
does on most websites these days) or "irrevocably post this to the
internet". This confusion apparently explains a few unwanted behaviors,
such as editors who save the page ("just to be safe") before previewing
their changes.
There are some other reasons behind to do this: It creates some
inconsistency in the interface, as some things (e.g., Special:Preferences)
get saved but kept private, while other things (e.g., normal wiki pages)
get saved and immediately published. It is also difficult to translate the
label into some languages, as the word has multiple possible translations
in some languages.
The plan, therefore, is to change "Save" to "Publish". Instead of the big
blue[1] button saying "Save page" (for a new page) or "Save changes" (when
you edit an existing page), the button will instead say "Publish page" or
"Publish changes".
The upside to this small change is that new contributors will understand
that all of their edits go to the public immediately.[2] The downside is
that all of the documentation and help pages is going to be out of date.
This plan was announced on the wikis last August, and is tentatively
scheduled for sometime in March. I hope that this extra note will keep you
from getting surprised in front of a group and give you enough time to
update any handouts that you might be using in the future.

[1] The color of this button in all of the older wikitext editors will be
changing this week. It's going to be big and blue.
[2] This is true even when the wiki is using FlaggedRevisions or
PendingChanges, because the un-accepted changes can be seen by the general
public from the history page or from &oldid URLs, regardless of whether the
revision has been accepted.

મિત્રો,
વિકિસ્રોત પર સહકાર્ય પરિયોજના - "૨૫૦૦ વર્ષ પૂર્વેનું હિન્દુસ્તાન" ની ભૂલશુદ્ધિનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ થયું છે. આ સાથે પરિયોજના ક્રમાંક ૭૭ હેઠળ ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી રચિત લોકકથા સંગ્રહ 'સોરઠી સંતો ભાગ ૧ 'ને સ્રોત પર ચડાવવાનું કાર્ય હાથમાં લઈએ છીએ.

મિત્રો,
સહભાગી મિત્રોના સહકાર્યને કારણે વિકિસ્રોત પર શ્રી નારાયણ વિશનજી ઠક્કુર રચિત ઐતિહાસિક નવલકથા "૨૫૦૦ વર્ષ પૂર્વેનું હિન્દુસ્તાન" ચઢાવાનું કાર્ય પૂર્ણ થયું છે. આ પરિયોજના ૩૧-૧૨-૨૦૧૬ ના દિવસે ચાલુ થઈ અને ૧૯-૦૨-૨૦૧૭ ના દિવસે તે પૂર્ણ થઈ છે.
આ પરિયોજનામાં અશોકભાઈ વૈષ્ણવ (અમદાવાદ), કૃષ્ણકાંતભાઈ ઠાકર (અમરેલી), વ્યોમ (જુનાગઢ) અને સુશાંત (મુંબઈ)એ ભાગ લીધો હતો. પોતાના સમયનો ભોગ આપીને આ કૃતિને વિકિસ્રોત પર ચડાવવા બદ્દલ વિકિસ્રોત આપના સહભાગની સરાહના કરે છે
મૂળ સંસ્કૃતમાં લખાયેલ "મુદ્રારાક્ષસ" નાટકને આધારે મરાઠી ભાષાના સુપ્રસિદ્ધ નવલકથાકાર રા. રા. હરિ નારાયણ આપટેએ મરાઠી ભાષામાં 'ચન્દ્રગુપ્ત' નામે એક નવલથા લખી હતી. એ નવલકથાનો જ આ ગુર્જર અનુવાદ છે.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list,[2] and posted on Meta-Wiki.[3] Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this list as well.

Dear Indic Wikipedians,
India <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India> celebrates 28 February as
National Science Day <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Science_Day>
each year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_Effect> by Indian scientist Sir
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.V._Raman> on
28 February 1928. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_in_Physics> For this discovery,
in the year 1930. Most schools celebrate National Science day by arranging
science festivals, demo and competition of science models, visiting science
museums, etc.
Instead of celebrating National Science Day as just one-day event, it is
planned to have a month long events in Indian language Wikipedias. These
events will be online and offline editathons, outreach activities and
meetups. The goal is to add more articles on science topics to Indian
language Wikipedias on topics on which articles are not present in the
respective language Wikipedia as of now. Additionally, efforts will be made
to enhance and improve existing articles on science topics.
Please join this. Add your event here -
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/National_Science_Month_Editathon
[Sorry for cross-posting]
Thanks and regards,
Pavanaja
