Wikipedia at FOSDEM (international meeting) ?
by youssefsan＠altern.org 21 Dec '02

21 Dec '02

Hello all Wikipedians. As mav suggested to me, I am writing to the mailing list (even if I don't read it carefully). I am living in Brussels (Belgium,Europe) and each year the FOSDEM * Free and Open Source Software Developers' Meeting * http://www.fosdem.org * 8-9 February take place. It is an international meeting in English. Usually Richard Stallman attends this meeting. A lot of well known devellopers working in the Linux world comes also. For exemple, the original author of PHP came last year or a couple of years ago. This year, Debian, KDE, Gnome devellopers are to come. I thing it would be good if contributors of Wikipedia and Wiktionay attendit so we can perhaps exchange vieuws and possibly collaborate ... An other good option, is to make a speech, yes I know it is a bit late, but for next year it would be great. I wonder if people are interested in it (I mean especially English speakers) Sorry for my long mail. Regards, Youssefsan, a contributor of the French wiki. PS: I will try to glance weekly at a possible threat

Watchlist / Atentaro / Liste de suivi
by Brion Vibber 19 Dec '02

19 Dec '02

[en] The watchlist function has been updated a bit; pages and their talk pages are now consistently treated as a unit (fixing the double-entry bug), and now both old and new titles will appear in watchlists when a watched page is renamed to better keep track of the change. Please let me know if there are any problems. [eo] La funkciadon de la Atentaro mi iomete antauxenigis. Priatentita pagxo kune kun sia diskutopagxo estas traktata kvazaux unuopajxo (la cimo de duoblaj montrigxoj riparigxas); kaj movita pagxo montrigxos kaj per la malnova kaj nova pagxo por pli bone sekvi la sxangxon. Bonvolu atentigi min, se ia problemo okazas. [fr] La liste de suivi est un peu améliorée. Page suivie avec sa page de discussion, elles sont traitées comme seule unité (le bougue de lignes doubles est réparé). Page renommée maintenent se montre le nom ancien et aussi le nouveau pour meilleur tracking. Informez-moi si se montrent des problèmes, svp. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Moving the English Wikipedia to en.wikipedia.org
by Brion VIBBER 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

We haven't decided yet exactly what to make the new www.wikipedia.org project front page look like, but it seems pretty well decided that we do want to move the English wiki to en.wikipedia.org and set up some sort of multilingual and/or browser-language-setting-sensitive intro page. (See: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_to_do_with_www.wikipedia.org ) If there's no objection, I'm going to switch the URL redirecting around tomorrow, so that www.wikipedia.org/* points to en.wikipedia.org/* rather than the other way 'round. A new intro page can later be set up at convenience. Warning: login cookies won't automatically follow over, so everyone using the English wiki will have to log in afresh after the switch even if you've got "remember my password" checked. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

It's important for Wikipedia that the process of Wikipedia be indexed/public/searchable/accessible. The "edit" pages and automatically generated pages don't need to be indexed. If a Talk page competes with the article that's not a problem with google--that points to a deficiency in the article. Or perhaps the talk page has more interesting content. That's often the case.

Wiktionary.org wasn't reserved!
by Daniel Mayer 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

FYI: I just registered this domain name and would like to donate it to the Wiktionary Project. So I need to know the details on how to transfer the registration to Jimbo. I, along with all the Wiktionarians I've heard from on this topic, would also like to have the Wiktionary project moved to this url soon and have Wiktionary.com (which is already registered to Jimbo) to point to it. WikiKarma payment was in cash -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
