== Highlights ==
=== Legal victory for Wikivoyage and free knowledge ===
The Wikimedia Foundation's legal team announced a settlement
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/15/a-victory-for-wikivoyage-and-free-knowledge/>
in the legal proceedings between the Foundation and Internet Brands,
relating to issues stemming from the creation of Wikivoyage, our
community’s newest free knowledge project.
Last year, Internet Brands (owners of a for-profit wiki-based travel
project) sued two Wikimedians involved in supporting the travel wiki
project. The Foundation supported the legal defense of the volunteers
and the court ultimately dismissed Internet Brands’ lawsuit.
The Foundation also went on the offensive and filed its own separate
lawsuit against Internet Brands seeking a declaration from the court
that Internet Brands had no proper basis to block the travel wiki
project. That suit was resolved in an out of court settlement on
February 14, 2013. In that settlement, Internet Brands released the
Foundation and Wikivoyage e.V. (the German non-profit organization who
worked hard to make the travel project a success) from all claims
related in any manner to the creation and operation of the travel wiki
project. In return, the Foundation agreed to dismiss its suit.
<Image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mobile_Wikipedia_watchlist.PNG>
Screenshot of the new mobile watchlist
=== Mobile watchlist available ===
Facilitating contributions to Wikipedia on mobile devices is an
important goal for the Foundation's mobile team. As one of the first
results of these efforts, mobile Wikipedia users are now able to log
into their account, and to view and modify their watchlist
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/13/follow-your-favorite-wikipedia-pages-on-the-mobile-web/>.
On the mobile version, the star symbol for the watchlist is shown to all
users, to encourage them to log in or create an account. Experienced
contributors can use the watchlist as usual: To track changes to the
selected pages and fix problems if necessary. But to make the watchlist
more newbie-friendly, the mobile version also offers a full view of all
selected pages, which can function as a reading list.
=== Language Engineering team attends open source conferences in India ===
The Wikimedia Foundation's Language Engineering team participated in two
conferences in Pune, India: GNUnify 2013
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/27/language-engineering-team-participates-in-gnunify-2013/>,
a major open source conference, and the Second Open Source Language
Summit
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/20/report-from-the-spring-2013-open-source-language-summit/>,
co-organized by the Foundation with Red Hat. The team aims to make
Wikipedia a website that can be used by anyone on the planet in their
own language. India's many different languages make it a natural
location for the team to see the effect of their work. At the Language
Summit, the engineers from the Wikimedia Foundation collaborated with
attendees from Red Hat, KDE, Google and other groups. The work areas
included the following:
* *Input methods* (enabling typing in a certain language), bringing
the number of supported languages to 140.
* *Translation tools*, including a demonstration of the new design and
features for the translation editor in MediaWiki's Translate
extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate>
* The *"Language Coverage Matrix"*, a detailed overview of language
support in different projects and platforms (with 285 languages
currently supported by Wikimedia, and more than 100 in the Fedora
Linux distribution)
== Engineering ==
A detailed report of the Tech Department's activities for February 2013
can be found at:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_engineering_report/2013/February
Major news in February include:
* The Wikipedia Zero project

<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/01/wikipedia-mobile-hits-3-billion-monthly-page-views/>.
=== VisualEditor <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor> ===
VisualEditor is on schedule to become the default editor for Wikimedia
users by July 2013. The alpha version of the VisualEditor
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor> on the English Wikipedia and
mediawiki.org was updated twice, adding support for Microsoft Internet
Explorer (version 9 and above), improving the support for multiple
languages, preparing the backend for upcoming features and fixing
several issues reported by the community. Software engineer and Commons
contributor Ed Sanders
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066421.html>
joined the team to work on the VisuaEditor data infrastructure.
In the backend, Parsoid <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid> is going
through intense activity focusing on performance improvements. New
contributor volunteer contributor C. Scott Ananian improved its
performance by switching the DOM library from JSDom
<https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom> to Domino
<https://github.com/fgnass/domino>. He also improved image handling and
contributed numerous other patches. The team wrote a blog post
explaining the technical challenges
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/04/parsoid-how-wikipedia-catches-up-with-the-web/>.

The Notifications <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Notifications> project
(codenamed /Echo/) is preparing its beta release to English Wikipedia by
the end of March. This new set of features, already enabled at
mediawiki.org <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki>, was summarized for
the Wikimedia community through a blog post
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/07/echo-a-new-notification-system-for-wikipedia/>.
New features are being developed: bundling
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#Bundling>
notifications, dismissing
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#Dismiss> types of
notifications and defining user preferences
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#Preferences>.
Article Feedback v5
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5> (AFT5) is now
feature complete, and a new release is being prepared for interested
Wikimedia projects. English Wikipedia will use it as an optional
feature, while French and German Wikipedia projects are planning to
enable it for all articles. The new features include simpler moderation
tools
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Simpler_moderation_tools>,
better filters
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Feedback_page_filters>,
new feedback link
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Feedback_link_on_article_pages>,

and discuss on talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Feature_Requirements#Discuss_on_talk_page>.
We posted a usability study report
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Article_feedback/Moderation_Tools_Usability_Study>
about
the effectiveness of the new moderation tools.
The Editor Engagement Experiments
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor_Engagement_Experiments> team continued
testing Guided tours <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Guided_tours> as part of
the onboarding new Wikipedians
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/onboarding_new_Wikipedians> experiences
currently enabled on English Wikipedia. GuidedTour extension
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GuidedTour> was enabled on Wikimedia
Commons and six Wikipedias (including French, German, and Dutch). See
also the slides
<https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/presentation/d/1RBrkt6uIEopyyxoM3ok6vGnIQM5Wu3mbNIzWiW_1uw8/edit#slide=id.gb09b51ff_632>
from the monthly Metrics and Activities meeting. The GettingStarted
extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GettingStarted> is being
enhanced to include a wider variety of task types offered to new editors.
=== Mobile <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Mobile_engineering> ===
Mobile web uploads <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_design/Uploads>
functionality went out of beta and is now enabled in all Wikimedia
projects. All registered users have now the ability to upload and add
images to articles lacking them. We also explored two new upload
workflows: adding a call to action to articles that appear in the Nearby
and Watchlist view, and allowing users to quickly see articles near them
that may need an image. Lastly, we began collaborating with the
Fundraising team to enable CentralNotice
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralNotice> on the mobile web,
giving us the ability to deliver targeted banners to mobile users.
The new Commons app <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Commons>
beta for Android and iOS got a first wave of users ([mw:Mobile
QA/Commons uploads/Setup installation instructions) and feedback,
leading to many updates during the month. The Android app is in Google
Play
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikimedia.commons>.
iOS users need to go through a process for testers until the app is
stable and available at the Apple App Store.
== Fundraising ==
<Video: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:What%27s_a_Love_Dart%3F.webm>
"What's a Love Dart?" video for Valentine's Day
=== Major Gifts and Foundations ===
* Received a $250,000 anonymous gift
* Received a $50,000 gift from Graham Weston
=== Annual Fundraiser ===
* The fundraising team began testing in February in various languages
and countries that were not included in the year-end 2012 campaign.
Nearly $2 million USD was raised from this testing in the month of
February. For additional details, please see the Fundraising 2013
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2013> page on Meta
* The fundraising tech team implemented new local payment methods for
various countries that were not included in the year-end 2012 campaign.
* Produced "What's a Love Dart?
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:What%27s_a_Love_Dart%3F.webm>",
a short video interview
with Wikipedian Susan Hewitt about the article 'Love Dart', that she
helped to write. The video was emailed to 150,000 U.S.-only donors
on Valentine's Day. It was designed to educate viewers that they can
write Wikipedia articles. The video received many positive
responses. One example: "I found the video to be quite engaging, and
the people in it utterly delightful. Quite truthfully, I haven't a
clue how Wikipedia "works." I've known it was non-profit and largely
volunteer... And, I donated because I've felt guilty not donating
based on how much I use it as a resource. But, I'm fully ignorant of
how articles get into Wiki and the degree of collaboration that it
takes to refine them. So, these videos that give me glimpses into
the people and the process are fascinating..."

=== Programs ===
==== Brazil ====
===== Institutional Partnerships =====
A research on possible partners
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Planejamento_2012-2013/Parcerias>
for the Wikimedia Foundation Brazil Catalyst Program has been carried
out since October. This is part of the narrowing focus strategy and
implies the Brazil Catalyst program is to shift into the grantmaking model.
Ação Educativa
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Planejamento_2012-2013/Parcerias/A%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Educativa>
and Coletivo Digital
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Planejamento_2012-2013/Parcerias/Coletivo_Digital>
were considered the most likely institutions for the Wikimedia
Foundation to set up an institutional partnerhsip and host the
development of the Catalyst project in Brazil. Anasuya Sengupta,
consultants from Brazil and two community volunteers visited those
institutions during her trip to Brazil. The meetings were good and
clarifying. The results can be checked here:
* Meeting with Ação Educativa
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Planejamento_2012-2013/Parcerias/A%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Educativa/Encontro_2013-02-22>
* Meeting with Coletivo Digital
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Planejamento_2012-2013/Parcerias/Coletivo_Digital/Encontro_2013-02-22>
Next steps include: developing a medium term strategy with partners and
community and Skype meetings to make final decisions and define terms
and governance of this partnership.
===== Hirings and positions =====
* Arriving: Hiring and onboarding of Henrique Andrade
<https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:HAndrade_(WMF)> and Jonas
Xavier <https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:JXavier_(WMF)>
* Leaving: Everton announced he’ll be leaving WMF for Open Knowledge
Foundation soon. We’re working on the transition (he’ll be working
part time for WMF until May or June) and on the opening of the job
position. More in March.
===== Analysis =====
Data & Experiments
* Data analysis: Comparison year-over-year
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programa_Catalisador_do_Brasil/Annual_Stats>
from 2009 to
2012. The Portuguese Wikipedia is still seeing a decrease in
editors, active editors and edits, but the descrease in 2012 was
lower than in 2011. We may be reverting the decrease trend (except
for very active editors), little by little, but it’s hard to say
yet. One more year is key to analyze it.
Staff & Community work
* Henrique’s and Jonas’ onboarding: access to data, tools, Toolserver,
guidance on the use of them, how tos, introducing to people, sharing
plans, targets etc. Both worked on a draft execution detailed plan
to be published and discussed by the community.
* IRC with community: agenda covered Toolserver-Wikimedia Labs
transition, methodologies to work on measures in Wikipedia, data
portal (ideas, objectives, structure and target), demand for data on
editors and edits per regions.
Workshop Surveys
* Creation of survey forms to be sent to every participant of offline
activities developed by us and by the community.
===== Education =====
====== Partnerships with universities ======
* FGV SP (Getulio Vargas Foundation): group of professors developing a
methodology in collaboration aiming at the second semester of 2013.
Professors plan to have class assignment activities as well as a
group of students who will be working throughout the semester on
Wikipedia.
* UGF - Gama Filho University: partnership with the coordination of
translation courses post graduation. Great part of their students
are in their e-learning/distance learning program. Professors in the
course are expected to assign students with translations of
Wikipedia articles in English and Spanish into Portuguese. Oona and
Everton have recorded a video interview in the University with
Sanchez (the coordinator), to invite students to participate in the

Highlights:
* Fall 2012 data showed students in WMF-run programs contributed 12.1
million bytes to Wikipedia, putting us on track for our goal of 25
million bytes in 2012-13.
* More than 350 students in the U.S. and Canada program have completed
the online student training, at en:WP:STUDENT
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:STUDENT>, so far. That means half of the
students who have created user accounts and signed up on course
pages thus far have completed an online training about how to edit
Wikipedia.
* So far, 60 courses <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Courses> are
using the Education Program Extension on the English Wikipedia.

Spanish Wikipedia's art coverage grows thanks to professor
Lila Pagola, a professor at the National University of Villa María in
Argentina, started teaching with Wikipedia back in 2007. The lack of
good information on the Spanish Wikipedia on topics related to art, her
specialty, spurred her to work with her students to add articles on
Latin American photography to Wikipedia, and she's been hard at work
using Wikipedia in her classroom ever since. Read about her project in
Argentina.
