[Foundation-l] innovation campaigns

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Innovation happens often under the radar screen. At translatewiki.net we
frequently have people request features that are necessary to properly
express the user interface in their language. This steady trickle make
MediaWiki one of the best applications when it comes to
Internationalisation, the number of language it gets localised in bring it
to a level that is unsurpassed.

With the Narayaram extension being developed by Junaid PV we have the
potential for another technical improvement that will likely raise the game
for many of our non latin script languages in the same way
LocalisationUpdate gave localisers the satisfaction that their work was
welcome and used.

The Russian incubator project is probably the best practice to protect
newbies from our friendly admins playing overlord. This is something that
can be replicated in other projects, its page can be translated in Meta even
without the possible technical support that is available..

Innovation exist everywhere in our world because if there is one thing we
have, it is bright people who seek answers to the problems they experience.
The trick is to give them room and learn their lessons.
Thanks,
      GerardM
