All, after some internal discussion with the licensing update committee, I'm proposing the following final site terms to be implemented on all Wikimedia projects that currently use GFDL as their primary content license, as well as the relevant multimedia templates: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Implementation Please note that these aren't quite yet ready for translation yet (hence labeled draft). Please provide feedback here or on the talk page, ideally by Thursday night UTC so we can move the process forward on Friday. In terms of implementing these changes, I suggest the following: 1) That the relevant site configuration variables are updated on June 15; 2) That, additionally, a central "Terms of use" page is created on wikimediafoundation.org to house the "terms of use" above, which can be replaced with a localized version whenever one is created; 3) That the relevant MediaWiki-messages are force-updated on all projects to the English version above, or any translations already created by June 15; 4) That the revised MediaWiki-messages are also translated through translatewiki.net and hence additional translations will be rolled out through normal i18n upgrades. Regarding 3) and 4), this may best be achieved by creating new MediaWiki messages. I would appreciate the advice of our translation and tech team on this, and of course on the entire proposed process. (I realize that there's not nearly enough time for any number of translations, but we have a fixed deadline of beginning the roll-out of this change by June 15.) For multimedia, the licensing committee and the Wikimedia Commons community are still discussing the best update strategy, but it will probably involve a bot updating the existing templates. We're also hoping to run a CentralNotice to explain the process to the communities so that people can help to fix up pages and policies. Thanks for any help in moving this forward, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate
