On the 13th, we enabled Lua scripting on all wikis. Editors can now use Lua, an innovative programming language, to generate sections of wiki pages on all our sites. (I'm sorry that I earlier misspoke as I thought this was just for the Wikipedias.) More information: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/14/what-lua-scripting-means-wikimedia-ope...

This is a reminder that we will hold two support sessions on IRC this week:

* Wednesday http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=02&min=00&... (for Oceania, Asia & America)

* Friday http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=18&min=00&... (for Europe, Africa & America)

Please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours for details. Please spread the word to your communities.

If you can't make it to these, you can also get help at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Lua_scripting . Also, the Wikimedia Foundation hosted a one-hour presentation last week (video recording available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrhzAtC8fCc ) in which people from the WMF and the Lua community gave an intro to Lua and explained how to use it on Wikimedia projects.
