Hello!
We would like to announce http://analytics.wikimedia.org the domain where
the analytics team hopes to consolidate dashboards and data downloads (a
work in progress)
We have two dashboards to announce with data we hope you find interesting:
1. The new traffic reports with browser data for mobile and desktop domains:
*http://tinyurl.com/zqqr3zd <http://tinyurl.com/zqqr3zd>*
2. The vital signs dashboard that displays several metrics that are of
interest like Pageviews and Unique Devices:
*http://tinyurl.com/jr4oou3 <http://tinyurl.com/jr4oou3>*
Thanks,
Nuria
We have had some good feedback for the new shared tabular data feature, and
we are getting ready to deploy it in production. It would be amazing if you
can give it a final look-over to see if there are any blockers left.
The first stage will be to enable Data:*.tab pages on Commons, and allow
all other wikis direct access to it via Lua code and Graph extension. All
data at this point must be licensed under CC0. More licensing options are
still under discussion, and can be easily added later.
In line with the "release early, release often", we will not have any
elaborate data editing interface beyond the raw JSON code editor for the
first release. Our initial target audience is the more experienced users
who will evaluate and test the new technology. Once the underlying tech is
stable and prooven, we will work on making it more accessible to the
general audience.

Hi everyone,
Something I've been looking for, and eventually realized doesn't
exist, is a simple timeline of technology on Wikimedia wikis. I think
it'd be very useful to have a simple list, to give editors a chance to
understand how the wikis have developed over the years.
I've started one here:

If you think the format works, feel free to add things you're familiar with.

Out of curiosity I've started filling
https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/201 for MediaWiki
(core) in this Linux Foundation project on best practices for FLOSS.
I got the feeling that the criteria still need to be exposed to a bigger
variety of projects: they don't seem focused, for instance, for web
applications, multilingual userbases and openness/transparency/community
health.
I was able to confirm 79 % of the criteria; I've had some troubles with:
issue reporting SLA, test coverage evolution, static/dynamic analysis
and cryptography. I suggest that the current status be documented on the
relevant mediawiki.org pages, as other people may have the same
questions. Hopefully it's then easy enough to update the "badges" (and
if not, I see a big delete button).

Hello,
The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is
scheduled for next Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 at 13:00 UTC. This session is
going to be an online discussion over Google Hangouts/Youtube with a
simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the limitation of Google Hangouts,
only a limited number of participation slots are available. Hence, do
please let us know (on the event page
<https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cd1bfs8111cbd4lmegqthma65c8>) if you
would like to join in the Hangout. The IRC channel #wikimedia-office and
the Q&A channel for the youtube broadcast will be open for interactions
during the session.
Our last online round-table session was held in March 2016. You can watch
the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FrowkpBEnQ
I would also like to mention that our team is currently inviting feedback
for Content Translation via a community consultation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Community_Consultation_J…>
which will conclude on June 22nd, 2016. We will make a note of any related
feedback received during this session and review it along with the other
comments received on-wiki.
Please read below for the event details, including local time and do let us
know if you have any questions.
Thank you
Runa
