Hello,
The Wikimedia Language Engineering team will be hosting the monthly IRC
office hour on February 12, 2014 (Wednesday) at 1700 UTC/ 0900 PDT on

This time we would be talking about the recent changes made to the

unified language configuration[1] - and the impact on the Wikimedia wikis.
We look forward to addressing any questions you may have about this. Please
see below for the event details.
Questions can also be sent to me before the event. See you all at the IRC

Hi all,
This is just an advance notice that we're getting much closer to being able
to launch GettingStarted,[1] a tool for suggesting tasks to new editors
after they sign up,[2] on non-English Wikipedias.
In the next 24 hours or so, most of our major user-facing changes will be
merged and ready to localize. About 10-15 languages are 80% or better on
translatewiki already, so many are close. The more the better!
Our current plan is to launch initially on all Wikipedias where
localization is complete (or close to it, 90% or better is ideal). That
will likely happen soon after our current iteration of work ends on
February 5th, though I will keep people posted.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
1. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GettingStarted

Hi,
bugzilla.wikimedia.org will be unavailable due to maintenance work on
Wednesday, February 12th from 22:00 UTC until max. Thursday, February
13th 01:00 UTC.
Plans include:
* upgrading Bugzilla to newer version
* moving Bugzilla to new server
* depending on how smooth things go, doing admin maintenance work
while bugmail is switched off for a moment, like
** merging the numerous 1.20.x version field entries into one
** mass-removing "wikibugs-l@" from CC lists of reports (see bug
47013) as it's set as a globalwatcher anyway
** maybe restructuring the taxonomy of Mobile components
(currently still discussed in the Mobile team)
Crossing fingers,
andre

Subject: Google Summer of Code 2014 starts NOW

Google Summer of Code 2014 has started.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014
(Thank you Raylton for creating this page)
The first step is to apply as Wikimedia organization before February 14.
I can do this, with your help:
* We need another org admin ready to work. I was the primary org admin
in GSoC 2013 and I'm also primary/only org admin in FOSS OPW and
Facebook Oen Academy. Google Code-in was different, with Andre and me
really sharing the org admin role. This brought better and more reliable
program administration, plus useful knowledge shared by more people for
future editions. Interested? Please reply.
* We need to add proposals with mentors and community buy-in under the
"Featured project ideas" section at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Featur…
. Either you step in now, or you wait at least six months until the next
call. Interested? Just edit the page. The sooner the better.
PS: I will be offline on holidays next week. I will submit the Wikimedia
application before leaving, almost week before the deadline. You will be
able to keep improving our proposal by improving the related wiki pages.
