Hi,
Topic: Sandbox Server (http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server)
I have "speak" with Daniel of the German Wikimedia and he has said that the WMDE would sponsor us a server. The details and condition:
• We (respectively one of us) rent the server and we (the person) send the bill to the WMDE and then they repays the costs
• The WMDE gives for first time max. 50 €/month
• The server hosts only projects, software, etc. which are for the Wikimedia community
• We must send every three month a report which include:
o Current projects
o How the community accepts the projects
o Our ideas for the next three months (which extensions, software, etc. should be develop, which software should test, etc.)
If all is OK, we need one who rents the server and we must create a first report of our ideas for the next three months.
Daniel of the WMDE is in the mailing list, too. We can ask him if there are some questions.
Viele Grüße
Jan Luca
Hi everyone,

There has been a lot of tremendous work on the strategy wiki the past

happened as well as the work to come.
As always, you can access the chat by going to
https://webchat.freenode.net and filling in a username and the channel
name (#wikimedia-strategy). You may be prompted to click through a

Hi to all,
I would like to announce you that Czech Wikiversity community is testing
extension Memorize. It is good for students, who need to memorize vocabulary
or images of plants/seeds/animals whatever.
I have prepared also a short page in English, where other members of the
Wikiversity community can test it:
http://tech.juanwiki.cz/index.php?title=Memorize/en. Please feel free to
register and experiment. You can also write more English documentation there
or create versions in other languages. Do not forget to leave your
impressions and advices in the appropriate discussion page, that we'll have
some feedback.
The schedule for the Czech community is as follows:
*collect comments and advices from students using it (we can compare it
cross different languages)
*extension modification and possible spin offs/extension versions
(JavaScript expert needed - can you help us?)
*translation (now the extension is in English, once it will be agreed by
community and adjusted by JavaScript expert it can be translated to other
languages)
*license guidance and possible negotiations (the copy I had is released
under GNU, unfortunately recently it become unstable one wikimedia.org,
because of its release status. see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Memorize)
*open a bug in bugzilla to enable Memorize on cs.wikiversity.org
I think, we can do this in one month.
On the end I would like to say, that I am not happy, I should control whats
going on on my wiki. Even this wiki is not designed to test wikiversity
extensions. So I would like to ask you to support our efforts to refresh
Sandbox Server, where this development can be also done as other useful
things: http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sandbox_Server
Regards,
Juan de Vojníkov
