What made me happy this week is the release of our latest converter
(check
it out: https://or.wikipedia.org/s/14kh) that converts the Odia-language text into International Phonetic Alphabet and Roman. We have been struggling for some time now to add pronunciations for words and could
not
find anything that could do that job. So another fellow Wikimedian
Prateek
Pattanaik I scraped the code from an existing converter and created this. Now we are going to integrate this into our pronunciation project Kathabhidhana (https://github.com/OdiaWikimedia/Kathabhidhana) where we create pronunciations of words. The next batch of audio recordings will come on Commons with IPA and Romanization. Yay for more metadata! :)

Greetings,
What made me happy this week was the establishment of Wikimedia Hub in
two
academic institutions in Nigeria, University of Ibadan and Nigeria Institute of Journalism. I want to thank members of my community
(Wikimedia
User Group Nigeria) who made this happened.
Regards,
Isaac

What made me happy this week was the discovery of some good
scientific
imagery that was openly licensed!
The USDA has created a bunch of identification sites for species of agricultural interest and released the images into the public
domain.
I was looking for images of a particular mite and discovered the
Bee
Mite site has released most of their images and all of their text
to
the PD [1]. (I have uploaded to commons although done a bit of a
hack
job on it). There are other sites which would also be a candidate
for
batch upload, which are listed here: http://idtools.org/identify.
php
(anyone interested in molluscs?)
I have also discovered this Clinical Skills textbook licensed under
CC
by 4 attribution.[2] I am in the process of adding some high
quality
medical diagrams to articles on wiki. This same website hosts a
bunch
of other open text books which may be a similarly good source of content: https://opentextbc.ca/
