Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] New WMF initiative: Community Capacity Development
by Andrea Zanni 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Is this something that we should pursuit? Aubrey ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 1:40 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] New WMF initiative: Community Capacity Development To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedians, {{Nutshell|WMF Community Engagement Team is allocating staff time and funding to deliberate capacity-development projects with interested communities in six capacity areas: community governance; conflict management; on-wiki technical skills; new contributor engagement and growth; partnerships; communications}} ==Details== This is a new way of partnering with WMF: through two way conversations (rather than top-down planning), WMF will work with specific emerging communities to explore obstacles for community growth and explore and pilot solutions together. The first phase of this work consisted of a series of in-depth interviews with individuals from 16 specific emerging communities to gather information about existing and missing capacities. Reviewing those interviews in aggregate, we came up with six capacities it seems useful to work together on. We prepared a page per such capacity, detailing challenges and possible approaches to build that capacity. We welcome your feedback! Contributions to those pages can be done in the following ways: * Sign up on the sidebar of each capacity subpage if you want to implement certain practices described, * Provide more links to resources, * Expand the Potential Solutions section with new ideas. These pages, including your contributions, will serve as the basis for specific conversations with specific communities to develop plans or projects to build capacity. During this initial pilot period, we intend to pursue projects in two or three capacities at most, which will be chosen according to community interest, scale of community, and scale of readership. We expect some of the specific actions we take in these projects would create resources [re-]usable by other communities as well. ==Join the Conversation== We invite you all to read through the capacity pages, and specifically, to see if the challenges described resonate with you and your community. If they do, have an on-wiki discussion about it with your community, and if there's general interest, sign up on the capacity pages and we'll have a conversation about what might be some possible next steps. Find the six capacity pages on Meta, here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Capacity_Development Looking forward to fruitful engagement, Asaf Bartov Sati Houston Community Engagement department -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation <http://www.wikimediafoundation.org> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

News about Wsexport
by Thomas Tanon 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

TL;DR: please migrate to https://tools.wmflabs.org/wsexport/tool/book.php that uses ePub 3 by default and supports PDF. Hi everyone, As a lot of you already knows, there is a new version of Wsexport running on Wikimedia tools labs that support PDF [1]. It is up and running since last May and I believe it is now time to migrate our on-wiki links to it and deprecate http://wsexport.wmflabs.org. So, please, update the links to Wsexport in the templates and JS scripts of your wiki. I have also made one big change to the tools.wmflabs.org version: switch the default ePub format from ePub 2 to ePub 3. This change will allow us to provide better ePubs by default, with nice features like footnotes displayed in popups (works only with some readers like iBooks). I believe it should not break most of reading devices but this is an assumption that should be verified. So, if you could download your favorite books in ePub 3 and test them on your good old ereaders it would be very nice in order to don't break the reading experience of our readers. If you encounter any problem, please open a bug on GitHub [2]. Cheers, Thomas (Tpt) PS : I have also updated the stat page of the tools.wmflabs.org instance: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wsexport/tool/stat.php [1] https://tools.wmflabs.org/wsexport/tool/book.php [2] https://github.com/wsexport/tool/issues

> Is http://wsexport.wmflabs.org being disconnected? Not in the foreseeable future. I think that when the number of requests to this instance will become low I'll redirect the URLs of the old tool to the new tool. So, the URLs won't be broken. > I will try to update all my links I made from MediaLibraryOnline to your tool, Great.

GLAM/Wikisource Project bears fruit in Québec!
by Ernest Boucher 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Projet Québec/Canada, a french GLAM project presented on the French Wikisource in collaboration with WMCA and BAnQ (Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec) bears fruit. With the enthusiastic collaboration of the Collection nationale (National Collection), in the last year, over 35 historic documents and books were rendered in digital format on Wikisource for the public and many more are on their way to be completed. Seeing the potential of this great collaboration between contributors and BAnQ's mission to preserve and desseminate our published heritage, BAnQ decided to link Wikisource directly from their official website's main page! This new window on the national archives of Québec website will bring, I'm sure, great visibility for Wikisource and many interested people who will want to contribute!

Fwd: [WikimediaMobile] [RELEASE] Kiwix for iOS v1.0

29 Aug '15

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Emmanuel Engelhart <kelson(a)kiwix.org> Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2015 22:48 Subject: [WikimediaMobile] [RELEASE] Kiwix for iOS v1.0 To: Using Wikimedia projects and MediaWiki offline < offline-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, mobile-l <mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Mailing list for Wikimedia CH <wikimediach-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net <kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, kiwix-developer(a)lists.sourceforge.net <kiwix-developer(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Hi This was a long standing feature request and not the easiest one to implement, that's why the Kiwix development team is pretty proud to announce the release of Kiwix for iOS v1.0. With Kiwix for iOS you can easily download/read recent snapshots (with or without pictures) of all Wikimedia projects with your iPhone/iPad. This first version of the app provides basic functionalities like: * ZIM reader * Navigation through articles * Search based on article title * Content library/downloader * Bookmarks * Browse history * iTunes sync (already in beta testing for v1.1) The app has been developed for the last 18 months by Chris, a New-York based developer. He was (a bit) mentored by an older member of the Kiwix dev team and the project was supported by WikimediaCH for the administrative work with Apple and the coverage of mandatory hardware costs. With this last stone, Kiwix which is already available for Windows, OSX, Linux and Android, has reached a milestone. 10 years after the project creation, Kiwix is a a cutting-edge solution to access Wikipedia (and a lot more) offline - with most of the computers - whatever the platform. Download Kiwix for iOS on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kiwix/id997079563 Have a look to the source code: https://github.com/kiwix/iOS Regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l

> I only know this stat. > http://wsexport.wmflabs.org/tool/stat.php I don't know any other tool than grok.se where we need to select the filenames manually but just FYI, don't forget, if you want accurate stats for book downloads with the URL you gave, to consult the new wsexport as well: http://tools.wmflabs.org/wsexport/tool/stat.php On the French Wikisource, we already have migrated almost all links to the new wsexport that allows to make PDFs as well (I'll write Tpt for him to add the PDF column in the stats on wmflabs...)

Hi, Are there any option to know the top 25 EPUB downloaded using WSexoport? I only know this stat. http://wsexport.wmflabs.org/tool/stat.php If we knew the most books downloaded, we would decide where we have to do efforts. Regards, Carles

Badges for Wikisource [[phabricator:T97014]]
by billinghurst 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Following work by WMDE at Wikidata, there will now be the ability to tag/badge works at Wikidata as to their proofread status. The badges have been kept simple, and should reflect the colour that is used for a work's page status. I recommended an implementation of three * incomplete (be it not be proofread, or problematic) * proofread once * proofread twice = validated This will mean that we should be looking to an agreed approach to its use. I suggest that this have some onwiki work, with a discussion to follow at Wikisource Wien Workabout (WWW) Regards, Billinghurst The detail ... Add default badges for Wikisource With site css, each Wikisource community can override these defaults. The defaults are coloured circles. To start with, these match what we have for Wikibase Repo (e.g. Wikidata), except not (yet?) have one for 'not proofread'. * problematic / incomplete * proofread * validated Bug: T97014 Change-Id: I5ad5270866a0a5b8fbc7a19b194f800c2b0e9a8a --- A resources/images/badge-notproofread.png A resources/images/badge-notproofread.svg A resources/images/badge-problematic.png A resources/images/badge-problematic.svg A resources/images/badge-proofread.png A resources/images/badge-proofread.svg A resources/images/badge-validated.png A resources/images/badge-validated.svg M resources/skins/cologneblue/wikimedia-badges.css M resources/skins/modern/wikimedia-badges.css M resources/skins/monobook/wikimedia-badges.css M resources/skins/vector/wikimedia-badges.css 12 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) To view the specific changes, visit https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/229199

Css and resourceLoader
by Alex Brollo 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

When editing my common.css to test style of p tag - I need to activate: .tiInherit p { text-indent:inherit; } I see that my style is uploaded, but is overwritten by another general css. I suspect that this could come from ResourceLoader and related timing of css files loading. Am I true? If so, how the issue can be avoided? Alex
