Subject: CREDIT showcase, Wednesday 7-June-2017
To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi!
I'd like to welcome you to join us at the CREDIT showcase next week,
Wednesday, 7-June-2017 at 1800 UTC / 1100 Pacific Time. We'd like to see
your demos, whether they're rough works in progress or polished production
material, or even just a telling of something you've been studying
recently. For more information on the upcoming event, as well as recordings
of previous events, please visit the following page:
<http://goog_1968694156/>
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase
And if you'd like to share the news about the upcoming CREDIT showcase,
here's some suggested verbiage. Thanks!
*Hi <FNAME>*
*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a
monthly demo series that we’re running to showcaseopen source tech projects
from Wikimedia’s Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery, Infrastructure and
Technology teams. *
*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The
next CREDIT will be held on June 7th at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 UTC. *
*There’s more info on MediaWiki, and on Etherpad, which is where we take
notes and ask questions. You can also ask questions on IRC in the Freenode
chatroom #wikimedia-office (web-based access here). Links to video will
become available at these locations shortly before the event.*
*Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested folks.
Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks
working across the open source tech community: language detection,
numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other
things.*
*If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks, and I hope to see
you at CREDIT.*
*YOURNAME*

Hello translators and ambassadors!
Many users have experienced problems due to scripts using depreciated
elements. An help page has been created to help those users to find the
broken scripts.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts>
Direct translation for translators:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-He…
-
29 translations units to translate, made with short sentences and
documented.
I advice you to try the process described on the page before translating if
you are not familiar with the use of browsers inspectors and Javascript
debugging modes.
Ambassadors, this page may help your communities. Please share it with
people who experience problems. :)
Thanks,
Benoît
