[Wikipl-l] Fwd: Email of introduction to Polish Wikipedia

Pią, 6 Lis 2009, 18:30:44 UTC

Hej,

Zostałem poproszony, żeby to przekazać. Skrót:

WikiTrust to plugin do Firefoxa, który podświetla różnymi kolorami
tekst w Wikipedii zależnie od tego jak wiele edycji temu został dodany
i przez kogo. Ponadto, jak się zaznaczy określone słowo lub fragment
tekstu i kliknie w niego WikiTrust automatycznie kieruje do tej wersji
arta, w którym dany fragment po raz pierwszy się pojawił. Czyli w
sumie jest to taki trochę sprytniejszy mechanizm diffów działający
bezpośrednio na artykule. Aktualnie WikiTrust może obsługiwać polską,
portugalską i włoską Wikipedię. Po zainstalowaniu tego w Wikipedii
pojawia się dodatkowa zakładka, której kliknięcie uruchamia działanie
plugina. Autorzy plugina proszą o przetestowanie tego i przekazanie im
uwag i komentarzy. Osoby, które nie znają angielskiego mogą wpisywać
uwagi tutaj:

Dear Polimerek,

we have developed an open-source tool called WikiTrust, which we
believe can be of help to people who edit (or read) the Wikipedia.
The best way to think of WikiTrust is as a tool that helps users
figure out what went on in a Wikipedia page.  If you click on a
"wikitrust" tab, WikiTrust highlights words that have been recently
introduced, and not much revised yet: this really helps to figure out
at a glance what is new in a page.  If you click on a word of text,
you are sent to the diff where the word was inserted, so that you can
figure out who added that word, and in what context.

WikiTrust is not running at the Wikimedia Foundation, so to use it you
need to install a Firefox add-on, and visit the Polish (or Italian)
Wikipedias.  You will see the "wikitrust" tab alongside other tabs,
and if you click on it, you can access the text analysis.

We would like to get feedback from the Polish Wikipedia community on
how they like the tool, whether it is useful to them, any bugs in it,
what they would like to see different, and so on.  As a start, we need
help in having the English text translated into Polish: if you (or
someone else) sends us translations, we can update the Firefox add-on.

You can find more information on WikiTrust at the project page,
including information on the algorithms, and frequently asked
questions.

We can get feedback by email (I am CCing my co-developers Bo and Ian,
and you can write to us all at help w wikitrust.net), filing bug reports
or feature requests, or writing to the WikiTrust discussion group.
You can also suggest other ways, but... we can't read Polish! :-)

We hope this will be useful tool, one that can facilitate your work!
All the best,

Luca
