Phabricator project names

I just wanted to let you know we decided earlier that we would just use the extension name alone (e.g. Thanks) rather than the full string (MediaWiki-extensions-Thanks). Mattflaschen-WMF (talk) 21:23, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on content curation & review

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Phabricator

Hi ! I wanted to use phabricator as a place to list all my Wikimedia-related TODO list, so lot of them will not belong to any project : does it mean that I'm not using the tool the right way ? Léna (talk) 20:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Salut! This would be rather question for User:AKlapper (WMF) who is the master of Phabricator. I am not sure if there is any policy ATM about purely personal tasks, but I would assume that it isn't being used this way. On the other hand, some users have their own user boards, however, used for managing their work on global tasks (ie. those anybody else can work on as well). Until answered by Andre (I'll poke him via other channels too), please refrain from creating new tasks for the time being, thank you.
Apologies for adding incorrect tag - due to language I assumed it will be related to the upcoming conference.
— Danny B. 20:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

@Léna: Salut! It's a good question about the scope of Phabricator, and it might be best to discuss this in phab:T555 so we have a single place. :) We do have User-* projects in Phabricator but tasks in such projects are 'normally' also associated to other existing projects (like 'WikiCon-Francophone-2016' for some of your tasks). Maybe you could describe your plans how to use Phabricator in task T555 and request a User project for yourself? :) Thanks, --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:20, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Czech Republican contributor of Asian Wikipedias

Dobrý den!

It was nice meeting you in Wikimanias 2015 and 2016.

Here is the interview I took of Czech Republican contributor of Asian Wikipedias from Prague. He is a pharmacist:

It will be great if the Czech Wikimedia could honour him in someway for his unique contributions. Best ---Muzammil (talk) 09:47, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Danny B. left the Czech Wikimedia years ago. I share this with Czech community. Thx!--Juandev (talk) 21:58, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

@Juandev: Thanks for the update. Please forward my message to Czech Wikimedia. If needed, I am ready to contact anyone from Czech Wikimedia either on talkpage or thru email - please let me know. --Muzammil (talk) 05:23, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Ive shared it with Wikimedia Czech Republic and Czech Wikimedia community and provided the backling. So I think if they need they will contact you directly than.--Juandev (talk) 06:44, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@Juandev: Thank you very much! for your support, cooperation and backing. --Muzammil (talk) 06:52, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
