FOSS OPW Round 7 Featured Project - Uploadwizard:OSM embedding, updates
by Anu George Enchackal 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi everyone, Myself Anu G Enchackal ,GNOME Outreach Program for Women Round 7 Intern,working on UploadWizard : OSM embedding mentored by Gergő Tisza. This project is about enhancing the image upload process for Wikimedia Commons.The main goal of the OpenStreetMap map embedding project would be to provide map interface & the integration with external databases to the UploadWizard.The secondary goal is to integrate with some databases of locations and use that in various ways. One way would be checking if there are locations with requested images nearby (that is, someone put out a note that Commons needs good images about a certain place and doesn't currently have any), and warn the uploader about them. ****Week 1 ( Dec 10 --- Dec 16 )**** This week was spent mostly by navigating through the existing structure and working on a link introduction within UploadWizard. The present plan is to introduce a link next to coordinate fields within UploadWizard , which can initialize the map widget onclick. Patch sets [1] which replaces the existing 'Show on Map' with a link having the same functionality are already uploaded to gerrit. Expecting valuable comments from everyone Anu G Enchackal OPW Round 7 Intern [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/101029/

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] IEG 2013 Round 2 Grantees Announced
by Quim Gil 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

3 technical projects out of 7 Wikimedia Individual Engagement Grants. Good! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] IEG 2013 Round 2 Grantees Announced Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 01:37:52 -0430 From: Harold Hidalgo <hahc21(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org CC: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Today were announcing the second round of Individual Engagement Grantees. [1] These grants from the Wikimedia Foundation support individuals and small teams of Wikimedians to experiment with new ideas aimed at having online impact on Wikimedia projects. Weve learned a lot from the first round of IEG grantees over the past 6 months, and look forward to seeing what this next group will accomplish.[2] Seven projects have been recommended by the *Individual Engagement Grants Committee*, a group of volunteers from across the Wikimedia movement who reviewed a set of more than twenty proposals, and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation for this round.[3][4] These selections represent a broad range of projects focusing on activities from outreach to tool-building and are all aimed at connecting and supporting our community. Grantees are trying out new ways of engaging with women and young Wikipedians, fostering participation in Africa, and supporting cartographers, researchers and developers to better engage with projects like Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia. The seven selected projects are: *Wikimaps Atlas* Led by Arun Ganesh and Hugo Lopez, funded at $12,500.[5] Hugo and Arun will be building a system to automate the creation of maps in standardized cartographic style using the latest open geographic data. With new workflows and scripts, they aim to make it easier for Wikimedias cartographers to generate and update maps for use in Commons, Wikipedia, and beyond. *Mbazzi Village writes Wikipedia* Led by Paul Kikuba with collaboration from Dan Frendin, funded at $2880.[6] This project is a collaboration between Mbazzi villagers, Wikimedia Sweden, and the Wikimedia Foundation to build a Wikipedia center in Uganda where volunteers can to contribute to Luganda Wikipedia, particularly focusing on articles related to sustainable development. *What is about - C'est quoi. A series of communication tools about Wikipedia in Cameroon* Led by Marilyn Douala Bell and Iolanda Pensa with collaboration from Michael Epacka, funded at 15,000.[7] The team in Douala, Cameroon will engage local artists to create comics, video, and other materials to raise awareness about Wikipedia and free knowledge. *Visual editor gadgets compatibility* Led by Eran Roz and Ravid Ziv, funded at $4500.[8] The team aims to map, organize, and surface lists of gadgets used in different language versions of Wikipedia to improve sharing of gadgets across language communities. Theyll also be piloting and documenting an approach for adapting the most-used gadgets for Visual Editor compatibility. *Wikidata Toolkit* Led by Markus Krötzsch with collaboration from students and researchers at Dresden University of Technology, funded at $30,000.[9] Markus team will develop a demonstrator toolkit for loading, querying, and analysing data from Wikidata. The project experiments with ways to give developers, researchers, and Wikimedians easier access to use Wikidata in applications, research, and other projects. *Women Scientists Workshop Development* Led by Emily Temple-Wood, funded at $9480.[10] Emily is piloting a model of regular, incentivized editing workshops aimed at college-aged women to encourage them to become regular contributors to Wikimedia projects and combat systemic bias with quality content. If the approach is successful, shell use lessons learned in order to develop a scalable kit for other groups to use. Finally, weve provisionally approved a seventh project: *Generation Wikipedia* Led by Emily Temple-Wood and Jake Orlowitz, funded at $20,000 - provided that legal dependencies can be satisfied.[11] This project would pilot a week-long summer conference for young Wikipedians and Wikimedians from around the globe to connect, share skills and build leadership and community capacity among our newest generation of editors. The ten grantees from Cameroon, Uganda, India, Israel, France, Italy, Germany and the United States will begin their projects in the new year; most will run from January through June 2014. Theyll be regularly sharing their progress, experience and lessons learned from their experiments throughout this period, so please feel free to visit their respective pages on Meta for project information and updates in the coming months.[4] Thanks to everyone who boldly created a project idea or shared feedback and suggestions in this round! The next round of IEG proposals opens on 1 March 2014. We look forward to seeing more of your ideas and engagement in 2014.[12][13] Sincerely, Harold A. Hidalgo On behalf of the *Individual Engagement Grants Committee*. ----------------------------------- 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG 2. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/08/01/ieg-learnings-call-new-proposals/ 3. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Committee 4. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-engaging 5. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikimaps_Atlas 6. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Mbazzi_Village_writes_Wikipedia 7. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/What_is_about_-_C%27est_quoi._A_… 8. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Visual_editor-_gadgets_compatibi… 9. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikidata_Toolkit 10. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_Scientists_Workshop_Develo… 11. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Generation_Wikipedia 12. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-applying 13. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Ideas

Jenkins interruption
by Antoine Musso 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, For some nasty reason the Wikimedia Jenkins had to be restarted a few minutes ago. It is currently busy reloading the configuration and restarting, should be fully back up around 5:20pm UTC. Meanwhile, jenkins-bot will whine in Gerrit that jobs have been LOST. This is because it cant reach Jenkins to build the jobs and consider they are not existent (ie lost). Whenever Jenkins is back up, the jobs will have to be retriggered by submitting a new patchset (for example fixing a typo in the commit summaries of changes affected). Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Antoine "hashar" Musso

Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki Homepage Redesign

Yes! That's the idea. Identify what content is fundamental to put on the homepage. Some people agreed that the contents of the homepage needs to be directed to new users. And I wonder: Which content will do new users love MediaWiki? Or what will arouse interest in using and contribute immediately?
