Dear all,
as you probably have heard, a process for writing the strategy of Wikimedia
has started in these days.
It's a complex and collective process, and if you are confused, don't be:
everyone is ;-)
Conversations are starting to pop everywhere on Meta, on Wikipedias, on
Wikisources, probably even on Facebook.
Here you can find a briefing, an initial overview of potential topics that
may come up across various strategy conversations. I suggest you give it a
look to understand the scope of this whole plan:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Process/Br…
The question we are asked to answer is this:
***What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?***
I'd like you to go back in your community and join (or start) this
conversation,
but also share *here* some of your insights and opinions.
We'll polish these thoughts afterwards: this is the time of speaking your
mind and dream big.
Aubrey
Dear all,
I returned yesterday from the annual Wikimedia Conference in Berlin.
I've quite a few things to tell you about the conf and the strategy, but
let me start with this: thanks to Leon Ziemba and Sam Walton,
we have a nice way to show book-based statistics, meaning the aggregated
pageviews for an entire book (main namespace + all the subpages).
Here's the important diff:
https://it.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3AHistlegend&type=rev…
So, as an admin, go into your Mediawiki:Histlegend page, and add this code
{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACENUMBER}}|0|'''·''' [
https://tools.wmflabs.org/massviews?project={{SERVERNAME}}&source=subpages&…
book pageviews counter]}}
Then, go into the History of a random ns0 book: you should see a new link
"book pageviews counter" (translate as you wish).
I hope this tool is useful!
Aubrey
Hi all,
Is anyone interested in presenting at the next CREDIT showcase (next
week) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase and demonstrating
the IA Upload tool? It's a good opportunity to get some more visibility
for Wikisource tools.
I'd do it, but it happens at 2 am my time.
If you're keen, put your name down at
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT
Thanks!

Hello friend,
I've been looking for something interesting and have come across that crazy stuff, just take a look http://hncg.com.cn/quarter.php?1312
See you soon, Katie Chan
If someone is interested in making a proposal for Wikimania 2017, in
Montréal,
this is the *last* week!
It would be good to have Wikisource talks, given the extraordinary
work from Ernst and other Canadian Wikisourcerers.
Be bold!
Aubrey

Hi Wikisource members,
I am Balaji. I am new to this mailing
list. I have made a submission for wikimania workshop. The details can be
found in the below link.
https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Workshop_on_using_Auto…
I kindly request for your suggestions regarding the workshop.
Thanks & Regards,
J.Balaji.
What about Bub upload tool (http://tools.wmflabs.org/bub/index)? It seems
unmanteined, since it accepts new upoload requests but it does'n run the
uploads; there's no message to warn users about its stop.
