Wikipedias utbildningsprogram i Arabvärlden fullbordar sin tredje termin
The third term of the Wikipedia Education Program in the Arab World ended with strong results. The program began with a small pilot project at two universities in Egypt in spring 2012. It has now turned into a force on the Arabic Wikipedia, with students participating in the program in three countries, adding content to Wikipedia as part of their university coursework. Last term, students in Egypt, Algeria, and Jordan contributed 12.79 million bytes of content to the Arabic Wikipedia. That’s more than double the 5.97 million bytes of the fall 2012 term.
HTTPS by default for logged-in users
Following concerns over the privacy and security of Wikimedia users due to recent revelations about surveillance on the Internet, on August 28 the Foundation made changes so that now all logged-in users are, by default, accessing Wikimedia sites over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Users can turn this off in their preferences. More information can be found on Meta-wiki, in various languages.

| Ingenjörsgruppen | $1 206 978 |
| Insamlingsgruppen | $276 719 |

- Omsättningen för månaden och året hittills i juli är $3 24 miljoner jämfört med det $1 miljon enligt planen, cirka $2,24 miljoner eller 223% över planen.
- Kostnaderna för månaden och året har hittills, i juli, varit $2,72 miljoner jämfört med planen som var $3,43 miljoner, cirka $706 000 eller 21% under planen. Detta beror främst på lägre personalkostnader, investeringar, internetkostnader, advokatarvoden, kostnader för bidragsansökningar och resekostnader. Detta motverkades delvis av högre avgifter för betalningshantering vilket kom sig av större inkomster från insamlingarna.
- Mängden kontanter är $39,78 miljoner den 31 juli 2013.
Andra höjdpunkter i rörelsen
Wikimania
In August, around one thousand attendees from more than 80 countries came to Hong Kong for Wikimania 2013. The main event from August 9-11 was preceded by a DevCamp (hacking days), a one-day conference about the Wikipedia Education Program, and various other meetups, as well as the related research conference WikiSym/OpenSym.
The main schedule contained around 120 sessions (see also the Foundation highlights). Jimmy Wales gave his traditional "State of the Wiki" speech (video). In another plenary session, the Board of Trustees answered questions by Wikimedians. At the Board's meeting before Wikimania, Jan-Bart de Vreede was elected as the new chair of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikimedians and pilots cooperate to photograph Israel from the air
WikiAir (Hebrew: ויקיאוויר, VikiAvir) is a cooperation between Wikimedia Israel and the Israeli Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), where civil pilots volunteer to take Wikipedians on their routine flights so they can take photos from the air and later on upload them to Wikimedia Commons. At Wikimania, the audience voted it the coolest and most unique Wikimedia chapter project of the year.
