Wiki emails work now, but you'll need to manually confirm your email
address first (Special:Preferences, near the bottom there will be an option
for sending yourself a confirmation email).
Hi wikispore-ites,
I'm looking forward to seeing how wikispore gets going.
In preparation for a possible sister project, the WikiJournal User Group
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group> has been running a
small test wiki at the arbitrary url of wikipediajournal.com.
Would it be more sensible to migrate that over to a wikispore server? What
would the benefits and limitations be?
All the best,
Thomas
I invite you to join us in a little over 3 hours, at 3PM New York, 7PM UTC,
9PM Berlin.
Topics include Wikilambda, COVID-19, CC licenses, automated backups,
Wikisprout, getting on search engines, "featured article" process, and
getting imported navbox templates to work properly.
Here is our video meeting room:

*Dear ALL *
(especially QueeringWikipedia/Wikimedia and Queer Spore enthusiasts)
In 12 hours from now I will be giving a Lightning Talk
*#QUEERingNETWORKing - webs against normal *
inside of an amazing online event
Art Meets radical Openness Festival
among other excellent speakers and programing
on this link https://gateway.radical-openness.org/conference.html
In the time when discussing the 'new normal' in the media is a dominant
trend of 'developed' world, while suppressed and critical voices are
questioning who's normal it was...web practices that address normalcy and
How?Who? they fail should help research, imagine and prototype what could
be alternatives, or even appropriations that foreground care and needs for
those who are always far from norms. WikiWiki%Lohi?

a day later
I will join a NotFoundOn custodians doing
a workshop (you can still register) on queer-feminist wiki use
*NotFoundOn** (DIY&DIWO wiki as safe space for +LGBTIQ+ communities)*
This is an invitation to join an online, intimate listening and co-writing
workshop with discussion of DIY&DIWO community networks and content re
positories.
Over the past year NotFoundOn has been co-creating a mediawiki platform to
record/connect feminist queer intersectional knowledge. It has done so
by responding
to tensions for the desire for privacy and the desire to share, as well as the
precarious nature of the spaces we occupy. It is the recognition of bars,
kitchens, sports teams as sites of knowledge creation and the desire to
seek alternatives to corporately owned social media.
We welcome participants from the LGBTQIA+ communities who have an
intersectional feminist approach, to love and inclusiveness. No
pre-existing wiki knowledge is necessary. All bodies welcome.

Hi,
not sure if this is a better place, or
https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Wiki:Village_Pump
Thanks koavf for setting up the namespace.
So I checked Wikispore out a bit more, and I think the following three
things would be requirements for moving forward:
1. Make the usual WMF wiki shortcuts work, i.e. meta for metawikimedia, en
for enwiki, d for wikidata, etc.
2. Install the translate extension
3. Enable Instacommons
With those three, it should be comparably simple to copy the content from
the spore to the blossomed project later.
What do you think?
Stay safe,
Denny
What time on Sundays is generally best for you to join a semi-regular
Wikispore + New WMF Projects + COVID19 video call?
Include both your "yes" and "maybe" times:, this is a tool similar to
Doodle hosted on the WMF servers:

Thanks,
