Hi, I was invited to speak about "Wiki-projects" on a translator's
conference in Cracow. Well, really my translator colleagues know me for
the one that works on the Wikimedia projects and of course also on
Ultimate Wiktionary. This means that I will tell about how things on a
wiki work, about GFDL, about Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Ultimate Wiktionary
and if time permits also about Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote,
Wikinews and whatever - I would at least like to add all these
informations on a CD to give to the participants (there should be
descriptions in many languages around, right?).
Now I don't have problems to burn approx. 120 CDs - I could also ask for
help to a friend of mine here, where I live, but I need contents -
enough to show the potentials but not too much in order to have people
then go to the projects itself for further reference.
I just talked with Frieda from the Italian chapter - she will help me to
create the entrance pages that have to be done manually.
Now what I would like to have are the downloaded pages of the
translations of the week from the last year because I suppose these are
articles that are very complete. I suppose, being these translations
they will also create a very particular mood for translators and maybe
some of them will decide to dedicate some time to their local projects.
People going to this conference come from anywhere and it is very likely
that they will give copies of the CD to friends and others if we have
some useful stuff on it. I'll also try to add some glossaries that I
have myself and that are under GFDL.
So please help us to create this CD by downloading these pages and
sending them to me. Maybe it would also be a good idea to tell us
briefly on the list what/on which wikipedia you are going to do the
downloads of the pages.
Or would it make sense to use HTTrack (well I should learn how to use it
properly) in order to have the links working? Martin gave me this idea
for another project some days ago and there I saw that all the links
access directly the website where the page was downloaded from on the
Internet.
Well, thank you for any help!
Ciao, Sabine
