Do add material to Tech News! Any additions are always very welcome.
Add information, even if you are not sure it's vital or important. It is better to remove something later than to miss information that should have been included.
Minst til meðan tú rættar:
- Brúka einfalt, ikki-tøkniligt mál;
- Nýt stutt, vanlig orð og "active voice" tá tú nýtir sagnorð;
- Use
<abbr>for abbreviations and acronyms; - Keep entries short (ideally no longer than two short sentences);
- Link to details, ideally translatable content on a wiki, with the most important link first
- Use
([[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert]]) for items that are in most issues of the newsletter (new MediaWiki version, some meetings) and
([[File:Octicons-tools.svg|15px|link=|class=skin-invert]]) for advanced items aimed at technical editors.
Check the following sources of information. Choose those you understand and are comfortable with: if you understand code, you can look at the commits, for example, while summarizing mailing list discussions may be more appropriate for someone who doesn't code:
- The #user-notice tag in Phabricator;
- Recent wikitech-ambassadors messages;
- Recent wikitech-l threads;
- Upcoming deployments;
- Wikimedia Foundation Tech Blog.
From those sources, select what you think is relevant:
- for Wikimedians without specialized technical knowledge, who may otherwise not learn about technical changes that may affect them;
- for people who relay these news to their fellow editors, like village pumps or noticeboards.
Add material to the next summary.
Any contribution is useful, even just adding a link. Other contributors can help write or simplify a longer description later.
