This is correct. Admins will be the ones able to create and manage
filters, and there will be no default filters.

Hi,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Operations team will perform network
maintenance today around 3pm CEST / 1pm UTC.
For more timezones, please see timeanddates.com's full table:

Disruption should be limited, but you may be unable to access
Wikimedia sites for a few minutes.

Dear all,
The Wikimedia Foundation will be performing network maintenance on
Tuesday, May 24 between 13:00 and 14:00 (UTC) (see other timezones on
timeanddate.com: http://ur1.ca/49cl2 ).
During the maintenance period, you may experience intermittent
connection issues to Wikimedia Foundation websites, including
wikipedia.org.
We have been experiencing router networking issues (and as a direct
result, latency issues) since last week. After much investigation, and
temporary fixes, the Operations team decided to update the router
software and tune the configuration.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Greetings,
As you may know, the Wikimedia teach team has started to upgrade
MediaWiki on some wikis. MediaWiki is the software that runs all
Wikimedia wikis.
The most visible change for Wikimedia users will be the deployment of
ResourceLoader [1].
ResourceLoader optimizes the use of JavaScript in MediaWiki, speeding up
its delivery by compressing it sometimes, and cutting down on the amount
of unused JavaScript that gets delivered to the browser in the first
place.
The installation of ResourceLoader may cause compatibility issues with
existing JavaScript code.
Trevor Parscal and Roan Kattouw, the main developers of ResourceLoader,
will be available on IRC [2] on Monday, February 14th, at 18:00 (UTC)
[3], to answer questions and help fix issues related to ResourceLoader.
*If you maintain JavaScript code on your home wiki, please attend.*
Don't wait until your wiki's JavaScript is all broken.
Please spread this information as widely as possible; it's critical to
reach as many local JavaScript maintainers as possible.
Logs of the session will be published publicly.

Hello All,
I am from Malayalam Wikipedia (http://ml.wikipedia.org) and I coordinated
the recent Usability change efforts for Malayalam Wikipedia. Let me ask a
question that is directly related to the new UI (vector). This question is
relevant only to languages that use non-Latin scripts.
In most of the non-latin language wikis there is a transliteration script
that we use for typing the text in the respective language/script. This is a
javascript. For Monobook, many wikis have placed a control box near the
search box to switch on/off the transliteration script. See the attached
image (*monobook.png*) to get an idea where it is placed.
When we over switched to Vector, this c*ontrol box disappeared*.
*Transliteration
is still working*. See the attached image (*vector_existing.png*) to see the
existing state.
We want to add this control box near the search box as shown in the image *
vector_modified.png*. Can some one please guide us in this regard?
Many Indian languages wikimedians have asked me this question, since we
switched over to new skin on 2010 June 30. All the other language wikipedias
are getting ready for the change. All languages that use transliteration
scheme has this issue.
So a solution will benefit all the languages that use transliteration
script.
Thanks
Shiju Alex
Hello Ambassadors,
I wanted to send everyone an update on Phase V of the Usability Initiative Rollout. This is the final phase and we are planning on rolling out the usability features (Vector and enhanced editing features) to all remaining projects that have not yet been switched. The release date has been set for Sep 1, 2010 at 10am PDT / 5pm UTC.
In preparation for the release, we have been doing the following activities which mostly revolve around helping us identify bugs and encouraging translations on the remaining projects:
* Central Notice: We are running a Central Notice [1] across all remaining projects. The notice informs users of the upcoming changes and asks for their help in translations and bug identification (see [1a] for landing page). We've asked people to complete the translations/bug reports by Aug 25, a week before release.
* Bug Identification: We are driving people to Bugzilla [2] and our bug report page on meta [3] to log bugs. Users can test the new interface by clicking on the "Try Beta" link at the top of the page on their project. This link will turn on the Vector and the other new features.
* Feedback: We're also monitoring the feedback page on meta [4] for general feedback on the features
* Translators-l: Casey B. sent a message to the Translators-l mailing list, asking for help in translations.
* Wiktionary and Wikisource: we posted to these projects as they are ones which have a heavy degree of customization and we wanted to alert them specifically of the upcoming changes.
* Tech blog post: We'll be posting on the tech blog [5] over the next day or so.
We will also post updates on the release plan to the release page [6].
As we're two weeks away from the release date, I'd like to ask for as much help as possible from our Ambassadors to identify bugs. Reports from our community members are one of the main ways we find out about stuff not working, so any help would be very much appreciated.
We'll be sending out more communication as we get closer to the release date. Please feel free to direct questions to either me or Alolita Sharma (asharma at wikimedia dot org). I will be out of the office for a few weeks starting Aug 21, but Alolita will be available for questions.
Thanks again for being an Ambassador!

Hi, all.
I'm aokomoriuta, who was (is?) one of the Phase III Ambassodor team on jawiki.
Thank you for notifying about this list.
Now I am subscribing this and will share information with jawiki community.
And, can I inform other people about this "wikitech-ambassadors" list?
I mean other is sysop private ML, WikiJA-L public ML, or Noticeboard on jawiki;
or not only wikipedians but anyone interested in our topic.
