University engagement with Wikimedia projects
by Leigh Blackall 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hi folks. Who can point me to or suggest a process for a university wishing to engage Wikimedia projects? By that I mean initial consultation to get advice on how to consider and formulate an appropriate plan encompasing the alignment of policy and practices through to the use, development and production of content. We have ideas on what steps might be good, but I'm wanting suggestions and pointers from others. Regards Leigh

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] It's time to reclaim the community logo
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 21 Sep '13

FYI Nemo P.s.: P.s.: You can check whether the WMF protects the logo of your project by seeing if it's listed as "registered trademark" on <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_trademarks>. -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: [Wikimedia-l] It's time to reclaim the community logo Data: Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:16:16 +0200 Mittente: Tomasz W. Kozlowski Hello community, this is to inform you that in response to the trademarking of the Wikimedia community logo[1], created in 2006 by Artur “WarX” Fijałkowski, which was discussed on this mailing list[2] as well as on Meta[3] back in March, a small group of community members—Artur, myself, Federico Leva (Nemo) and John Vandenberg—have initiated a formal process of opposition against the registration of the trademark by the Foundation in order to *reclaim the logo* for unrestricted use by the community. We appreciate the Foundation’s protection of the other trademarks they have registered so far, including the logos of Wikipedia, Wikisource and some other sister projects. In the case of the community logo, however, it is our belief that the Foundation’s actions are exactly opposite to what the community logo stands for and contradict the purpose behind its very existence. We would like to make it clear that it is not our intention to damage anyone; our actions are a challenge against what we perceive as unilateral declaration of ownership of an asset that has always belonged to the wider community, and not to one or another organisation that is part of the movement. By formally opposing the registration of the trademark we hope to ensure the history of this logo is not disregarded, and we wish to protect the community against unnecessary bureaucracy and, to use another quote, let “groups who do not purport to represent the WMF”[4] to continue to be able to freely associate with a logo that has been part of their identity for so long. We also want to note that this is in no way a legal action against the Foundation, but a simple notice of opposition against the registration of the logo in the European Union. If we assume good faith, we can only be confident that the WMF, having now a formal occasion, will withdraw its registration of the logo rather than continue using movement resources to force the community into lengthy, expensive proceedings. We invite all community members interested in this issue to express their opinions at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_Logo/Reclaim_the_Logo If any of you would like to help us in any way (covering the costs of the opposition, promoting the discussion, etc.), please feel free to contact us off–list.

How to copy paste Wikimedia into Moodle
by Leigh Blackall 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

For those of you still playing with your Moodle, I wondered if this method has potential. Copy the source html code of the mobile view of any of the big Wikis, and paste it into a Moodle page. I'm really liking the mobile view of the Wikis, in fact, I prefer it. Take a look at the simplicity: https://en.m.wikiversity.org/wiki/Creating_accessible_courses 1. View a Wikiversity page 2. Insert an "m." between the "en." and the "wikiversity.org..." 3. Use your browser to view page source html and copy paste it all in a Moodle page through the html edit view 4. Now, how to fix the links? So, the search box and the icons don't work, and internal links come over as relative links, so are broken in Moodle. But a simple find and replace text should fix them.. or anly use external links in the wiki. Deleting the search box and the user icons, breaks the style for the section drop downs. If anyone has a go at this, please share back your methods. -- -- Leigh Blackall <http://about.me/leighblackall> +61(0)404561009
