[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Gadgets
Hi all, I've started a page on meta for Wikimedia Gadget http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Gadgets This page serves for people participating of the Wikimedia movement to brainstorm on news cool, fun and interesting Wikimedia gadgets. The ideas can discussed in several languages on the talk page to facilitate each local group to speak their ideas in their local language, if necessary. The idea is to expand the possibilities on what we have so far in the Wikimedia Shop http://shop.wikimedia.org/ and other local groups shops using the global community ideas and help local groups to outreach Wikimedia projects. A lot of times someone saw a Wikipedia backpack I have and they found really cool - people find these kind of things cool. This can help also local groups to develop their own things to outreach Wikimedia projects. Also, several times, I was faced in discussions with colleagues on possible new gadgets beyond those produced by Wikimedia Foundation, like a Wikipedia flip flop, for instance. Or when volunteers in Brazil organized a challenge with a initial idea to give some new gadgetd, like these ones in this news about this activity http://blogs.estadao.com.br/link/positivo-quer-wikipedia-offline-em-computadores/. I do think this can also help to outreach other less known Wikimedia Projects. For instance, when a cool banner was made here in Brazil https://docs.google.com/file/d/1c3Op5hG6ugo6gsQdmG7MzuG5jXyj_YJjYkcZ61DLi2aRBqlOXT-WKqqSAaKv/edit by volunteers to use at events, I've heard more than once people saying they didn't know other projects and that that was really cool. As another example, I've just discovered a cool t-shirt of Wikimedia Sweeden for the Wikipedia education program http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_i_utbildning_tshirt.jpg and their local shop http://wikimediasverige.spreadshirt.se/ with original and creative products. I hope this can bring new ideas and new gadgets. Please, make comments in the wiki page.

Everton Zanella Alvarenga, 07/04/2013 15:23: The idea is to expand the possibilities on what we have so far in the Wikimedia Shop http://shop.wikimedia.org/ Is this approved by the WMF shop manager? and other local groups shops using the global community ideas and help local groups to outreach Wikimedia projects. Is this approved by WMF legal? Wikimedia Italia had to close its shop years ago.

Ciao Nemo. 2013/4/7 Federico Leva (Nemo) nemow...@gmail.com: Everton Zanella Alvarenga, 07/04/2013 15:23: The idea is to expand the possibilities on what we have so far in the Wikimedia Shop http://shop.wikimedia.org/ Is this approved by the WMF shop manager? Humm... Do volunteer need permission to share ideas? Maybe I was not clear, but the idea is to create prototypes so that we can have more creative things. The next stages, like creating, sellilng and other bureacratic stuff, is for the next stage. and other local groups shops using the global community ideas and help local groups to outreach Wikimedia projects. Is this approved by WMF legal? Wikimedia Italia had to close its shop years ago. Well, when people from WMF comes to Brazil with t-shirts, brochures, stickers etc., I think there is no need to ask any thing to WMF legal. Here we just receive these resources and share with volunteers on events and projects, helping to outreach Wikimedia projects. Since in Brazil there is no legal entity approved as a chapter, I was not even thinking about a local shop here, but just to focus on the creative side of volunteers and leave the (boring) bureaucratic stuff for bureaucrats. :) Tom ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

It immediately made me think of the popular Gadgets MediaWiki extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets. It sounds like maybe you want merchandise? Or something similar to that. Just a thought. MZMcBride ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Gadgets
Free give-aways are okay. But a shop where Wiki* stuff can be sold, might be a problem.

2013/4/7 James Forrester ja...@jdforrester.org: There's https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_merchandise which has a lot of this discussion already. Damn. Sorry, I didn't find this page! Thanks for pointing this out, James. I spent some minutes on meta looking for this, but the word merchandise was not on my head. And it seems some people who replied here didn't know also. Maybe it is a good idea to point this page more explicitly at shop.wikimedia.org. I'll suggest on wiki. I'll move some of the content here to this page before being bited, hehehe.

Pessoal, já existia uma página disse que eu não consegui achar https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_merchandise#Link_to_this_page_at_the_top_of_shop.wikimedia.org.3F Depois seria legal traduzir a página principal no meta e pensarmos em produtos tupiniquins.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] French intelligency agency forces removal of a Wikipedia article
An intelligence agency that apparently hasn't done enough intelligence to know that doing such action would cause the opposite and also clearly do not know how Wikipedia works. Did I had to high expectations or were their criteria of quality too low? On Fri, 5 Apr 2013 12:31:29, Fred Bauder fredb...@fairpoint.net wrote: I can't see what would be sensitive in the article.. I think that the existence of the article is considered too sensitive for them, not realizing that all information is already elsewhere on the internet.

We should thank them for making Wikipedia get in the spotlights. Free publicity. As the intelligence agencies are enough encyclopaedic to have in our encyclopaedias, maybe we should think of setting up a project like Wiki Loves intelligence agencies. ;-) Compared to Wiki Loves Monuments are the heritage agencies loved by the Wikipedians and the heritage agencies like the Wikipedias, while with Wiki Loves intelligence agencies is probably only a one-way loving.

Possibly out of the tread but let me comment that anyone anytime could sell anything from Wikipedia until s/he follows the license terms, eg. includes the source (and avoid to use non-free materials like logos, obviously). Funky question could be that where should the terms go since I believe I could put a license leaflet next to a TShirt instead of printing it onto it. Maybe. g ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
