Apparently it's hard for me to get both dates and times right in the same
mail. Apologies for the incorrect date in the subject. This demo is in 15
minutes.

Hi everyone,
No promises that I'll be sending this email every two weeks, but I
thought it would be good to send this at least now.
The regular cycle of MediaWiki deployments to Wikimedia websites
continues. 1.20wmf5 has been deployed to the following wikis:
* https://test.wikipedia.org
* https://test2.wikipedia.org
* https://www.mediawiki.org
A lightly processed changelog is available here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.20/wmf5
Deployments will continue through June 20.
Based on my initial skim, nothing in this deployment stands out as
something that requires a special notification or extra attention, but
please feel free to add a "Highlights" section to the top of the
changelog with the items that strike you as newsworthy.
Thanks
Rob
The Wikimedia Foundation has been creating a new Article Feedback system,
and on Saturday 9 June from 10AM-noon Pacific time, WMF invites testers and
anyone else interested to participate in a "shakedown cruise" to test a
near-final version of the new Article Feedback system before the system is
rolled out to all of Wikipedia.
Following on May's successful test event with Weekend Testing Americas, WMF
is teaming up with the Open Source fans at OpenHatch.org for this event. I
am hoping that having experienced exploratory testers plus people
interested in improving Wikipedia articles will be a killer combination of
expertise and interest to shake out any final issues in this critical
aspect of the Wikipedia experience.

Forwarding an e-mail that Pau sent to wikitech, mediawiki-i18n and a
few other mailing lists (as he's not subscribed to translators-l and
wikitech-ambassadors).
Cheers!

Subject: [Engineering] Introducing: Designs for the Universal Language Selector
Today we are announcing the designs and interactive prototypes for the
Universal Language Selector.
Wikipedia is available in 285 languages, and MediaWiki has been
translated to almost 400 languages.
Several language-related tools are available to support the
consumption and contribution of content in different languages.
These tools allow users to type text in a language for which their
keyboard is not prepared, download appropriate web fonts to display
non-Latin scripts properly and choose the language of their user
interface.
The Universal Language Selector is a tool that will allow users to
select a language and configure its support in an easy way.
When the number of languages in a list approaches 400, ease of use
becomes both a need and a challenge.
The design process for the selector started with the analysis of user
needs and the definition of representative scenarios to support.
Then, we explored different ideas in the form of sketches and
wire-frames through different iterations.
Finally, we have created interactive prototypes to test whether our
ideas work with real users, and we want to share them with the
community.
More information about the designs has been recently published at the
Wikimedia Foundation blog:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/21/introducing-designs-for-the-universal-…
We are announcing the availability of the Universal Language Selector
designs to gather feedback on the proposed solutions, and ask for
volunteers to test our prototypes.
If you want more details on the designs or want to have ideas for
improvement or criticism on the designs, feel free to do so on the
talk page for the Universal Language Selector:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector#Proposed_design
If you are a speaker of Arabic, Dutch, Hebrew or Hindi, you can also
request participation for the usability tests at http://goo.gl/QpWmu
In less than 30 minutes you can participate in the tests and
experience whether our proposed solutions work in practice for your
specific language community and context.
