Često postavljana pitanja 2010.

Gdje odlazi moj novac?

[edit]

Koristi se na ljude i za tehnologiju. Premda su Wikipedija i njeni sestrinski projekti jedna od pet najposjećenjijih internetskih stranica na svijetu, zaposleno je samo 54 uposlenika; za više informacija pogledajte stranicu uposlenika. Oko polovice uposlenih radi na tehnologiji, mali dio je zadužen za kontakte s javnošću i odnose s dobrovoljcima, a ostatak na prikupljanju sredstava i administraciji. Nadalje, vaš prilog pomaže plaćanju tehnološke infrastrukture (servera i mrežnog pojasa) koji održava Wikipediju u radu i rastu.

U osnovi, Zaklada Wikimedia (eng. Wikimedia Foundation) postoji da bi podržala i pomogla veliku mrežu dobrovoljaca koji pišu i izmjenjuju Wikipediju i njene sestrinske projekte - radi se o više od 100.000 ljudi širom svijeta.

Ukratko, što je Wikipedija?

[edit]

Wikipedija (www.wikipedia.org) je najveća i najpopularnija svjetska enciklopedija. Ona je internetska enciklopedija, slobodna za bilo koju a osim toga i bez reklama. Wikipedija trenutno sadrži preko 17 milijuna članaka napisanih od strane dobrovoljaca na više od 265 jezika. S više od 408 milijuna ljudi koji posjećuje njene stranice mjesečno, Wikipedija je i peta najposjećenija internetska stranica na svijetu.

Ona je zajednička tvorevina milijuna suradnika koji su je pisali i dopunjavali tokom zadnjih devet godina: svatko ju može uređivati u bilo kojem trenutku. Wikipedija je postala najveća zbirka dostupnog znanja u ljudskoj povijesti. Ljudima koji ju podržavaju zajedničko je to što vole učiti, što su znatiželjni i što su svjesni da više ljudi zna više nego samo jedna osoba.

Zašto bih trebao donirati Wikipediji, slobodnoj enciklopediji?

[edit]

Zadatak zaklade Wikimedija je da pruži jednostavan i lak pristup podacima svim ljudima širom svijeta i to besplatno i bez reklama. Mi smo neprofitna organizacija i da bi mogli ispuniti naš cilj ovisimo o Vašoj financijskoj pomoći.

Koji su vaši planovi? Gdje je ovo ide?

[edit]

As the organization's founder, Jimmy Wales, put it: "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge." That’s where it’s going — and we need your help to get there.

Svakog mjeseca, više od 430,000,000 milijuna ljudi diljem svijeta koristi Wikipediju. Ona je dostupna online, na Vašem mobilnom uređaju, na DVD-u, u knjigama i u mnogim drugim oblicima. Želimo biti dostupni čak većem broju ljudi, i kontinuirano poboljšavati kvalitetu informacija koje pružamo. Kako bismo to uradili, mi:

  • making it much easier to contribute knowledge. We've recently launched a large-scale initiative to improve the user experience both for adding text and multimedia. You can find more information on the project website.
  • creating learning and training resources to recruit more contributors: teachers, professors, students, photographers, filmmakers, scientists, librarians, archivists, curators, hobbyists, and many others. We're working with a growing network of 37 grass-roots Wikimedia chapter organizations around the world to reach out to these people, and encourage them to help us make Wikipedia better. More information can be found on the project website.
  • developing new technologies and processes for quality assurance that do not conflict with Wikimedia's fundamental openness. For the technically interested, this includes technologies for flagging edits and for detecting potentially problematic changes.
  • consulting with our global community of editors as well as experts, volunteers and thinkers around the world to develop innovative strategies for reaching more people, with higher quality resources, and for increasing the number of volunteers. More information about our five-year strategy project can be found on the project website.
  • building a rich dashboard of metrics to support the work of the Wikimedia movement. See our monthly report card and our statistics portal.

Finally, it is our mission to protect the work that has been done so far: to reduce the risk that disaster or technical failure could eliminate portions of our work, and to ensure that it is regularly copied in many places. We're not an excited start-up company that will fade away in two years -- we're in this for the long term.

Kako zadržavate Wikipediju otvorenom i sve pouzdanijom?

[edit]

Vjerujemo da povećana suradnja čini Wikipediju boljom. We believe increased participation makes Wikipedia better. At the same time, we must maintain the tough standards that have made Wikipedia respected by scientists, academics, journalists, and foundations.

Što je Zaklada Wikimedije?

[edit]

Zaklada Wikimedija, Inc. je krovna organizacija mnogih projekata slobodnog sadržaja, od kojih je najznačanija Wikipedija, nagrađena inernetska enciklopedija. Jimmy Wales osnovao je Wikipediju u siječnju 2001. te zakladu Wikimedija u lipnju 2003. godine. From the beginning, we have existed for one reason: the free and open sharing of knowledge. Mi ne prodajemo informacije i ne podržavamo oglašavanje. Vaša donacija čini naš rad mogućim. We bring the educational content from these projects to people in as many forms as possible. In particular, we help disadvantaged communities with limited connectivity to access and contribute free educational content.

We own more than 400 servers used to run our projects, along with all the associated domain names and trademarks. We support strategic software development on the MediaWiki software and related tools, which allow more people to participate and the existing volunteer community to work more effectively. This includes tools specifically related to ensuring high quality. We develop learning resources, support workshops and strive to think intelligently about other ways to bring in new contributors and to grow Wikimedia as an international movement for free knowledge.

In all this, we are supported by local chapters organized in many different countries.

Koje projekte podržava?

[edit]

Zaklada Wikimedija podržava Wikipediju, internetsku enciklopediju i jednu od pet najposjećenijih internetskih stranica na svijetu. From the founding of Wikipedia in January 2001, and the incorporation of the Wikimedia Foundation in June 2003, our growth has been staggering. Wikipedija na engleskom jeziku, naš prvi projekt, danas ima više od 6,000,000 članaka. Sve Wikipedije zajedno imaju preko 47,000,000 članaka.

Pored Wikipedije, zaklada Wikimedija također podržava:

Mi predvodimo i podržavamo razvoj MediaWiki softvera otvorenog koda, koji se nalazi iza svih naših javnih internetskih stranica. We help to organize outreach and community events to encourage people to contribute to our projects, and we provide downloadable offline copies and database archives of Wikipedia content.

Više informacija možete naći na stranici o našim projektima.


Operating the world's fifth largest web property. At its heart, Wikimedia requires operational excellence to continue to exist. As of 2010, we're operating several hundred servers in two locations, and we're adding a third location for additional redundancy. While our global traffic continues to grow, our aim is to provide the best possible site experience to everyone in the world, to maximize uptime, and to ensure that all the information in Wikimedia projects is safe and secure.

Giving Wikimedia's volunteers the best possible tools to do their work. The core technology that makes Wikipedia and its sister projects possible, the wiki, was invented in 1995. Things have changed quite a bit since then. Wikimedia projects run on an open source wiki software called MediaWiki, which we develop and improve. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to contribute knowledge, and to give volunteers and readers great tools for assessing and improving article quality. In some areas, we lead and innovate. At minimum, we must keep up with key trends in the ever-changing web we're part of. Because our software is open source, everyone can use and improve it.

Developing recruiting resources for new volunteers. Wikimedia is made of people. To grow our global community, we need to excite people about the prospect of being part of it – and help them with their first steps. To this end, we develop and maintain a library of outreach resources, such as videos and screencasts, but also printed "how-tos" and other more targeted resources (for teachers, librarians, students, and others). See the bookshelf of outreach resources.

Staging outreach and community events world-wide. Once a year, hundreds of Wikimedia volunteers come together at Wikimania, in a different location each year. (You should come! In summer 2011 Wikimania will be in Haifa, Israel!) And, Wikimedia's chapter organizations have staged dozens of additional events, competitions and conferences around the world. Some are targeted at recruiting new volunteers; some give the community space to think about its work, and to do it. Recognizing the value of people coming together because they are passionate about Wikimedia's mission has been key to our success. In 2011, we'll place special focus on India and Brazil as priority outreach regions.

Partnering with cultural institutions. Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums protect and make available the world's history, culture and knowledge. Their mission is to serve and inform the public, just like Wikimedia's. We've successfully partnered with cultural institutions around the world – not just in working with them to make digital reproductions available for free, but also in improving Wikipedia articles and other content related to their collections and archives. Wikimedia chapters are playing a lead role in organizing conferences and meetings targeting the cultural sector, and executing partnerships.

Working with the educational sector. In the age of the open web, there's the potential for student projects to be more than just exercises. Pioneering professors have long assigned Wikipedia writing as coursework to their students. Supported by a grant, in 2010, the Wikimedia Foundation is running the largest-ever partnership program with university professors across the United States (the Public Policy Initiative), resulting in students making improvements to hundreds of articles. Everybody wins: students get an audience for their work, teachers successfully motivate their students, and readers get better articles. Wikimedia chapters have also reached out to schools to develop media literacy and to promote responsible use of Wikipedia in the classroom.

Providing access to Wikipedia everywhere. The next billion people to discover the web will do it using mobile phones, some without ever having touched a laptop. We need to make sure that our sites and services work both on modern smartphones and (to the extent it's possible) on lower-end devices. Our current mobile gateway is a start and we'll continue to improve it (moving beyond the read-only experience). And for people with no or intermittent Internet access, we're supporting copies of Wikipedia that can be used completely offline, including projects like the WikiReader, offline readers for desktops and smartphones, and printed versions of Wikimedia content.

Informing our decision-making with facts and data. Analytics, research, experiments and forecasts are essential to make good decisions in a complex environment like Wikimedia. The Wikimedia Foundation Report Card and the Statistics Portal provide a wealth of up-to-date analysis which helps us understand the impact of our work. The Strategy Wiki is a public planning space where longer term trends are analyzed. Research projects provide us with in-depth analysis and experiments, supported by the volunteer-driven Research Committee. We're data nerds – what else would you expect from the kinds of people who love working on an online encylcopedia?

Kako je Wikimedijina zaklada ustrojena?

[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation has a staff of 302, led by the Executive Director, Sue Gardner. The staff supports the work of the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who contribute content to the Wikimedia projects. The Wikimedia Foundation is also supported by countless volunteers participating through committees, as interns, or on an ad hoc basis.

The Board of Trustees articulates the mission and vision of the Wikimedia Foundation, reviews and helps to develop long term plans, provides oversight, and supports the Wikimedia Foundation's fundraising efforts. It is the ultimate organizational authority of the Wikimedia Foundation as defined in its bylaws. See Meetings for published Board minutes and Resolutions for published Board resolutions. The Board is partially elected from the community of contributors to the Wikimedia projects.

Mi imamo ured u San Franciscu u Kaliforniji (SAD), gdje radi većina naših zaposlenika. All board members and remaining staff work remotely.

We strive to operate highly transparently, and have published key policies and financial information.

Kako je Wikimedijina zaklada osnovana?

[edit]

Wikimedia is funded primarily through donations from hundreds of thousands of individuals, but also through several grants and gifts of servers and hosting (see benefactors).

Zaklada Wikimedija dobija donacije iz više od 50 svjetskih zemalja. The average donation is quite small, but their sheer numbers have ensured our success. People make contributions year-round, and once a year the Wikimedia Foundation makes a formal request for donations.

Mi ne smatramo oglašavanje kao način prihoda.

The Wikimedia Foundation has 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States. Donations made from other nations may also be tax deductible. See deductibility of donations for details.

Gdje mogu slati čekove?

[edit]

Šaljite čekove na:

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
P.O. Box 98204
Washington, DC 20090-8204
USA
Note: donations by check are processed directly at our centralized lockbox location which is in Washington, DC.

Our preference is for checks in U.S. dollars, drawn on U.S. bank accounts. Checks in currencies other than U.S. dollars, or from bank accounts outside the U.S., can be very expensive for us to process, which reduces the value of your gift. If you do not have a U.S. bank account, you can maximize the value of your donation by giving via Paypal or wire transfer.

Mogu li vam dati ciljanu ili ograničenu donacije koja će se koristiti za nešto vrlo specifično?

[edit]

Charities based in the United States, including the Wikimedia Foundation, are required to honor restrictions requested by donors. This means that if you specify your donation needs to be restricted for a specific use, we will either honor your request or return your donation. But before you decide to do that, please consider that unrestricted donations are much more useful for us. Every restriction imposes administrative overhead and planning costs, and increases internal complexity.

Zašto postoji najmanja donacija?

[edit]

Najmanja donacija iznosi 1$. Primamo male donacije od ljudi koji nemaju mnogo novca, i mi smo im vrlo, vrlo zahvalni. Istinu govoreći, ako dar Vama nešto znači, značit će i nama. S druge strane, nije neuobičajeno da pojedinci koriste donacijske postupke poput našeg kako bi provjerili ukradene kreditne kartice i vidjeli da li rade. Ti ljudi obično koriste vrlo male iznose za svoje provjere: otkrili smo da ih najmanji iznos od 1$ odbija od njihovog nauma.

Što ja mogu učiniti da vam pomognem raširiti vijesti?
