Gerard and Robin,
It is great to see that the Proofread Page namespaces are going to
recorded & created at the beginning. Thank you for your efforts.
The Page and Index namespaces must match the names in the Proofread
Page messages, otherwise we end up with a mess.
Gerard, would it be appropriate for the Proofread Page extension to
also define messages for the Page_talk and Index_talk namespaces , so
that they are all translated on translatewiki.net?

Hello devs,
I am Aashish Mittal and am currently working on a project for creating an
'Book' extension for Wikisource/WikiBooks. There is a bug filed for this
feature (check bug 15071<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15071>)
by the wikimedia community developers.
This extension would enable the users to group selected pages into logical
'books' and use these books as per their needs. We are currently working on
defining the scope of this project, but an initial thought to this project
defines the following deliverables for this extension:
1. Create a book
2. Page addition wizard (also containing search filters for finding
particular pages)
3. Import book metadata (where user can directly add set of pages from
his export list)
4. Export book metadata (export the book details containing all page
links to a file which can be saved by user, similar to MetaBooks)
5. Add to a book option for every page
6. Table of contents for a book
7. Read a book (navigate through pages or some kind of an ajax based
book reader)
8. Recent changes for each book
9. Create chapters
10. Arrange order of pages in a book
11. Protect/watchlist/move/delete all pages of a book
12. List books
13. Search for a book
14. Search in a book
15. Automatic Bookshelves, where the books of a wiki could be organized
according to their metadata (examples:
English<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/en:Wikibooks:Departments>,
Portuguese <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/pt:Wikilivros:Biblioteca>, ...)
This feature is an extension of
Collection<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection>and
BookManager <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BookManager> and
intends to add additional functionalities described above to them. It would
be great if I could get some suggestions from the Wikisource community
developers about their requirements, the features they would like to see
and any implementation ideas. I have started a
discussion<https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Book_feature_for_Wiki…>on
Scriptorium for the same. Feel free to add your valuable suggestions
for
this project.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aashish

Greetings,
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki, the
software powering Wikipedia and its sister sites, to its latest
version.
The upgrade will happen in several stages over the month, starting this week.
You can still help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid
disruption and breakage.
More information:

Can we consider this text to be PD-EdictGov ?

Subject: [Foundation-l] ACTA analysis?
To: foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Cc: gbrigham(a)wikimedia.org
I would like to thank Geoff Brigham for the excellent job he did
analysing the consequences of SOPA for wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Legal_overview
Would it be possible to analyse ACTA in a similar manner? This is
apparently the treaty text:
http://www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/assets/…
Possibly we've already done so, and I've missed it? :-)
I'm especially interested in the following questions:
* What issues, if any, does ACTA raise, for wikipedia?
* what points would be wise to point out to legislature, to ensure
wikipedia does not come to harm, if implemented anyway?
We can then proceed to engage with the diverse members of the diverse
committees in .eu (as required), or engage with our local
legislature (as required)
Once appropriate for us, note that La quadrature du net is taking
action, and has collected all relevant phone numbers and addresses
etc:
https://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/How_to_act_against_ACTA#Contact_your_Elec…
The window for action on ACTA is now very narrow, time is short.
sincerely,
Kim Bruning
Dear all,
I was the [[:m:User:555]], mainly active on the last years of my volunteers
actions on Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource. I've left the Wikimedia
projects mainly because the lack of energy from my side to keep trying to
get free time to work in projects fully neglected by the Wikimedia staff,
developers team and some volunteers in the core of the Foundaction acts.
A friend told me about the http://labs.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ . I've
checked http://labs.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrixand...
surprise! no Wikisource wikis with blue color links! I asked myself
random things about the [[bug:21653]] lasted for 26 months until gets
PARTIALLY fixed and decided to check some 'Recent changes' pages and found
this:
http://pt.wikisource.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=233269
Come on guys! What is the point to run a bot spamming on all wikis if the
tests are only to the Wikipedias? Attempt of a 'politically correct' action
to these worse guys from others projects get's 'socially included'? Like in
the real life, those worse guys aren't in need of assistencialism [1]
actions...
Well, I don't expect any change on the Wikipediocentric actions in short,
medium or long time (in fact the Foundation and some local chapters are
trying to make things for the Wikimedia Commons project, but only because
that project is the central media source for Wikipedias), this was only a
mutter.
Despite my apparently hatred on this message, I really hope that the 3-4
extensions only enabled on Wikisources wikis don't get's any aditional bugs
than the current ones in the new version of MediaWiki in the same intensity
that your guys hopes that focusing in a project that only describes the
knowledge in an encyclopedic way fully meets the
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mission_statement
[1] - wow, a concept from social sciences yet not defined neither on
en.wikpedia or en.wiktionary? O_O
As on all of my previous messages, sorry for my limited English skills.
Best regards,
[[:m:User:555|Lugusto]]

Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the beginning of Steward Election 2012 [1]. We are
now taking nominations from eligible candidates. Interested candidates can
check their eligibility and procedure to submit the nomination on the
guidelines page [2]. We are open to candidate submissions till January 28,
2012, 23:59 (UTC). Questions to the candidates can be submitted until
February 6, 2012, 23:59 (UTC). Guidelines about questioning can also be
found on our guidelines page [2].
This time we are also arranging the confirmation of existing stewards [3].
But the confirmation will begin on February 8, and will finish on February
27, 2012.
Please remember, the voting has not yet begun and will be not until
February 8, 2012, 00:00 (UTC). We will poke you once again when the voting
start.
As you all know steward election is a global event, so we need help from
volunteers to translate necessary pages into languages they speak. For
those who want to help us out with translation, please see our translation
portal [4]. And if you have any queries related to translation or anything
related to the election, you can ask us on the talk page [5]. Alternatively
you are free to poke us on IRC channel #wikimedia-stewards-elections.
For those who are a little bit surprised to see another election in few
months, I want to let you know that previous one (in September-October of
2011) was a special one which we arranged in need. This is the regular one
to elect new stewards and to confirm existing ones.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any list if you think it will be
useful. :-)

This looks like very good news. We can but wait and maybe slightly ask to
see when it will be incorporated to WMF's mw rollout.
