< Events
As part of Maryana Ikander's listening tour, Wikitongues has organized a roundtable discussion about language diversity across Wiki projects.
When and Where
[edit]- Wednesday, November 10, 15:00 UTC - 14:00 UTC
- Google Meets
Event Flow
[edit]This event is open (anyone can attend) and will be moderated by Daniel from Wikitongues.
Introductions (20 minutes)
[edit]Each attendee will have an opportunity to introduce themselves by briefly answering the following questions:
- Who are you? (Your name, your language, and your title, if relevant)
- Where are you?
- How do you use your language in Wiki projects?
Open Discussion (40 minutes)
[edit]After introductions, we'll move to an open discussion about how we use our languages across the spectrum of Wiki projects: what works well, what could be better, and where our communities could be better supported. We'll use the following questions as a guide:
- What have been your challenges in contributing content in your languages and what support do your and your community members need?
- Why is linguistic diversity important in capturing the sum of all human knowledge?
- What motivates you to contribute to Wikimedia projects?
- What is something cool you are working on or have worked on in the past year?
Event Recording Policy
[edit]- With everyone's consent, we will record the event.
- Participants who consent to audio recording but don't want their faces recorded are welcome to turn off their cameras.
- If requested, we will have a brief session at the end that isn't recorded, to leave space for more open conversation.
