[WikiX-l] Update on anniversary organizing

[Béria Lima]

I have a question:

That wiki will be page versions in other languages? Because I can't found
any pages in other language than English.

If the answer is "yes", we should open a translation queue in
translationwiki or meta and made a request in Translators-I ML.

> Thanks to the editors who stepped up to help wiki-garden so far.

> We've tried to structure the wiki to make it clear what it's for. Here's
> some more detail on what I want to include:
>
> 1. A list of all the events that will happen. Lots of organizing work is
> happening on other wikis and off-wiki, such as through Facebook events.
> That's great, and of course we want that to continue. But having a single
> list of what's happening is immensely useful for organizers, attendees, and
> the press.
>
> 2. On-wiki activities for reflecting on our anniversary and conveying the
> magnitude of our first decade of work. There is a list of preliminary ideas
> on the [[Share]] and [[Ideas]] pages.
>
> 3. Providing a space to gather resources for organizers, including a basic
> press kit and a set of anniversary designs put together by Jay Walsh and
> David Peters, whose work you will recognize from the 2009 Annual Report. The
> designs will all be uploaded to Commons shortly and will be in a gallery on
> the anniversary wiki. I'm really excited about this part of what's been
> prepared, since it's ideal for the customization and localization that needs
> to happen.
>
> These designs are yours to run wild with, and some of them will be
> incorporated into products (t-shirts, buttons, stickers etc.) that will be
> provided to event organizers that want them. All we need to give you these
> materials is a basic set of event details and contact information, all of
> which can go on your event page. If it's unclear on the wiki what we're
> asking for, then that's my fault, so please let me know.
>
> 4. A place to document everything that goes on. Encouraging taking photos,
> video, and making written records of what everyone is up to in their
> celebrations is essential (and it's fun, at least to me). Media should
> probably go on Commons, as is standard procedure, but I'd love to see
> everything aggregated into the event pages on the wiki. Sharing the cool
> things that you're doing will be both a gift to other Wikimedians who can't
> be there, and will create a permanent record of our first double-digit
> anniversary.
>
> If you have any questions, either about the wiki or however else the
> Foundation can support you in planning, I'm your best point of contact. I'll
> also be posting more regular updates to this list.
>
> Thanks for reading,
