维基媒体基金会重要事项
重新设计的移动版维基百科
[1]在在维基移动计划Beta站点试水后被更新在了维基百科[2]上。新的导航系统致力于使移动功能和设置更容易被发现。在未来的几个月中，移动计划团队将从事于增加在移动设备上添加贡献的可能性。在过去的几个月中，关于这种可能性，“Wiki Loves Monuments” App 已经引进了由移动设备上传照片的功能。对于读者而言，这个新设计将提供使内容更加易读的字体。
基金分配委员(FDC)会第一次面对面会面
The nine members of the new volunteer-run Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) met for the first time in October, preparing their recommendations about funding requests by 12 organizations (11 Wikimedia chapters and the Foundation) from a pool of more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations. In this new model, the funding requests have to be submitted in public, enabling a community review period that lasted until October 22.
支持FDC的工作人员依据如下的标准，对各个申请进行了评分 。
- 对潜在影响力的估计；
- 该组织对计划活动的执行能力；
- 他们预期的财务效率；
- 提交的成功度量标准的质量
- 对于整个维基媒体运动的潜在帮助
The Signpost (the English Wikipedia's weekly community newspaper) has published an overview of these scores and of the requested sums.
The Board of Trustees will announce its decision about the FDC's recommendations in December.
Wikipedia Zero now available to 230 million people after Saudi Arabia launch; has already grown Wikipedia readership in Africa and Asia
Wikipedia Zero, the program offering mobile Internet users access to Wikipedia without data charges, added Saudi Telecom Company (STC) to the list of partners. With STC's 25 million subscribers in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait, altogether 230 million mobile users in 31 countries have now access to the program, half a year after its worldwide start.
A preliminary evaluation of its effect on readership is promising: Wikipedia pageviews from Orange Niger customers grew by 77% and those from Orange Kenya customers grew by 88% in a four-month period including the launch in these countries. In Malaysia, unique visitors to Wikipedia from local operator Digi jumped by 42% after it joined Wikipedia Zero.

Other movement highlights
Audio and video from open access scientific publications imported to Commons
The Open Access Media Importer Bot was approved on Wikimedia Commons at the end of October. It searches publication databases (such as PubMed Central) for audio and video files that accompany scholarly papers as supplementary material, and uploads them to Wikimedia Commons if they are available under suitable free licenses. It has already imported more than 9000 files.
200 GLAM professionals at German conference
An international conference titled "Shaping Access! – More responsibility for cultural heritage" took place in Berlin on October 23 and 24, co-organized by the German Wikimedia chapter with five other organizations. More than 200 representatives of cultural institutions (GLAMs) discussed ways of making cultural heritage more accessible, among them Wikipedia and Wiki Loves Monuments.
Ada Lovelace Day
In mid-October, the fourth annual Ada Lovelace Day was celebrated to honor the contributions of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, remembering computer pioneer Ada Lovelace (1815–1852). Wikimedians participated with several events, including editathons at the British Royal Society and at Harvard University that focused on improving Wikipedia coverage of women in science, and a party hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.
 Current system: interwiki links between all languages |

 Wikidata, phase 1: links of all languages to one central point |
Wikidata.org goes online
Wikidata reached a milestone on October 30 when its wiki at wikidata.org went live, as the first new Wikimedia Foundation project since 2006. Wikidata will be a central repository of structured data for Wikimedia projects. The software is being developed by the German chapter. The project consists of three phases. In the first phase, which has now begun, the interlanguage links that are connecting articles about the same topic in different language projects are being collected on Wikidata. The Hungarian Wikipedia will be the first project to make use of these centrally stored interwiki links.
