Hoogtepunten van de Wikimedia Stichting
Gerechtelijke overwinning voor Wikivoyage en vrije kennis
The Wikimedia Foundation's legal team announced a settlement in the legal proceedings between the Foundation and Internet Brands, relating to issues stemming from the creation of Wikivoyage, our community’s newest free knowledge project.
Last year, Internet Brands (owners of a for-profit wiki-based travel project) sued two Wikimedians involved in supporting the travel wiki project. The Foundation supported the legal defense of the volunteers and the court ultimately dismissed Internet Brands’ lawsuit.
The Foundation also went on the offensive and filed its own separate lawsuit against Internet Brands seeking a declaration from the court that Internet Brands had no proper basis to block the travel wiki project. That suit was resolved in an out of court settlement on February 14, 2013. In that settlement, Internet Brands released the Foundation and Wikivoyage e.V. (the German non-profit organization who worked hard to make the travel project a success) from all claims related in any manner to the creation and operation of the travel wiki project. In return, the Foundation agreed to dismiss its suit.
Mobiele kijklijst beschikbaar
Een belangrijk doel voor het Stichting's mobiele team, is het faciliteren van bijdrages aan Wikipedia op mobiele apparaten. Een van de eerste resultaten van deze pogingen is dat mobiele Wikipedia gebruikers nu [1] kunnen inloggen, en hun kijklijst kunnen bekijken en aanpassen. Bij de mobiele versie is het ster symbool van de kijklijst zichtbaar voor alle gebruikers, teneinde ze aan te moedigen om in te loggen of een account te creeeren. Ervaren inzenders kunnen de kijklijst als voorheen gebruiken: Om veranderingen te volgen naar de geselecteerde pagina's en waar nodig problemen op te lossen. Maar om de kijklijst vriendelijker voor nieuwe gebruikers te maken, heeft de mobiele versie een volledige weergave van alle geselecteerde pagina's, en kan dus dienen als een leeslijst.
Taalkundig team woon open source conferentie in India bij
The Wikimedia Foundation's Language Engineering team participated in two conferences in Pune, India: GNUnify 2013, a major open source conference, and the Second Open Source Language Summit, co-organized by the Foundation with Red Hat. The team aims to make Wikipedia a website that can be used by anyone on the planet in their own language. India's many different languages make it a natural location for the team to see the effect of their work. At the Language Summit, the engineers from the Wikimedia Foundation collaborated with attendees from Red Hat, KDE, Google and other groups. The work areas included the following:
- Input methods (enabling typing in a certain language), bringing the number of supported languages to 140.
- Translation tools, including a demonstration of the new design and features for the translation editor in MediaWiki's Translate extension
- The "language coverage matrix", a detailed overview of language support in different projects and platforms (with 285 languages currently supported by Wikimedia, and more than 100 in the Fedora Linux distribution)

Overige hoogtepunten in de beweging
Uitslegen van de Commons Foto van het Jaar 2012 bekendgemaakt
After 3990 Wikimedians had voted, the results of the seventh annual Picture of the Year contest on Wikimedia Commons were announced on February 22. The winning photo (right) features two birds of the species Merops apiaster (European Bee-eater). The photographer explained that it shows a mating ritual: The male bird, on the right, is about to feed the bee to the female, on the left. The photo had been provided by "Project Phoebus", a collaboration between the museum of Toulouse and Wikimédia France.

Open databank van openbare kunst in Zweden
Wikimedia Sweden has started work on a freely licensed database on public art in Sweden, populated with data from public institutions and municipalities. The project is funded by a grant from the government agency Vinnova. The database was motivated by the international Wiki Loves Public Art photo contest, planned for May 2013.
