Sorotan Yayasan Wikimedia
Makmal Wikimedia telah dipindah ke pusat data baru
Platform Wikimedia Labs (Makmal Wikimedia) membolehkan para sukarelawan meletakkan peralatan perisisan untuk membantu kerja-kerja komuniti, dan juga untuk melibatkan diri dalam operasi-operasi teknikal terhadap pelayan-pelayan Wikimedia. Sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha berterusan Yayasan buat mengurangkan kebergantungan pada pusat data lama di Tampa, Florida (AS), Makmal-makmal dipindahkan ke pusat data baru di Ashburn, Virginia dalam bulan April, dan melengkapkan usaha berbulan-bulan yang dilakukan staf WMF dan sukarelawan yang melaksanakan projek-projek Makmal. Antara kelebihan usaha ini adalah pemindahan kepada sistem fail baharu (NFS) yang lebih andal daripada sistem Makmal di pusat data lama (GlusterFS, yang menyebabkan kebanyakan kegagalan Makmal dan masa rosak dalam bulan-bulan kebelakangan). Juga, di pusat data baharu, banyak projek Makmal sekarang menggunakan proksi sesawang dalaman, yang menyediakan beberapa kelebihan termasuk pencapaian HTTPS dan peningkatan privasi data pengguna. Penutupan Toolserver, pelopor bahagian "Tool Labs" (Makmal Perkakas) Makmal-Makmal Wikimedia, dirancangkan pada 30 Jun.
MediaPemapar baru mula dikeluarkan di laman Wikimedia
The Foundation's multimedia team released Media Viewer v0.2 on 14 pilot sites in April, in preparation for a wider deployment in May. The overall response was favorable, and a growing majority of survey respondents was finding this new multimedia browser useful. The team also developed a set of metrics dashboards to track how often MediaViewer and its various features are used, and how fast it performs over the Internet, as well as local metrics dashboards for selected sites: first results showed a decline in image load time, and suggest that Media Viewer loads faster than the old file description pages.

Perkara-perkara yang menyerlah daripada pergerakan Wikimedia
Mesyuarat Tahunan Wikimedia (Annual Wikimedia Conference) begabung dengan organisasi-organisasi Wikimedia di Berlin
From April 10-13, representatives of Wikimedia chapters, the Wikimedia Foundation and other organizations and committees from the Wikimedia movement attended Wikimedia Conference 2014 in Berlin, hosted by the German chapter. In previous years, many presentations covered program activities by chapters, but this year's conference focused more on organisational issues and the future of the Wikimedia movement in general. Examples from the schedule:
- Wikimedia Germany presented the results of its Chapters Dialogue project, which assessed the needs, goals and stories of Wikimedia chapters. Representatives from all chapters had been interviewed for the project, alongside other actors.
- Several other sessions and workshops at the conference discussed how to evaluate the success of program activities in the movement.

Wiki Education Foundation receives $1.39 million grant
The Wiki Education Foundation was initiated in 2013 as a spin-off of the Wikimedia Foundation, assuming responsibility for supporting the Wikipedia Education Program in the United States and Canada, formerly run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The program, in which students write Wikipedia articles in place of traditional term papers, created the equivalent of more than 7,000 printed pages of new, high-quality content during the fall term of 2013 and the equivalent of more than 36,000 printed pages of content since its start in 2010.
On April 14, the Wiki Education Foundation announced that it had received a $1.39 million grant from the Stanton Foundation. The grant covers the first year of a three-year funding period, and supports improvements in the education program in the US and Canada, as well as additional programs to improve underdeveloped content areas on Wikipedia.
