Congratulations from Goa!

I've used some of your information to create English language articles,
especially on topics where our pasts intersect.

The Translate tool helps one to do a lot (though my knowledge of Pt itself
is highly limited... even if there are 2000 words from Pt adopted by the
Konkani language... unfortunately, Konkani doesn't have its own Translate
tool as yet, though a wikipedia in its preliminary stages had been set up
http://gom.wikipedia.org ). Here is one of my attempts at translating:

 Hi Kaarel,
 Thank you for following up.
 Regarding product and technology, I agree that they are closely
 interrelated, but I remain concerned about assigning such a broad scope of
 responsibilities to a single WG, and about the potential overlap of the WG
 with the existing TechCom and the Platform Evaluation Initiative. I would
 like to hear thoughts from Toby and/or Victoria about these issues, perhaps
 on the talk page of the WG.
 I am glad that further thought is being given to the time commitment to
 the WGs. I hope to discuss this further with you, perhaps in a Hangouts
 meeting next week.
 Thank you for your responsiveness to input.

 Strategy: Open Call for Working Group
 members
 Dear Pine,

 Product & Technology are closely interrelated themes. We do not have a
 product without technology and technology is developed according to our
 product vision & design. The Working Group will not duplicate the
 discussions, but ensure that different existing processes feed into each
 other. In addition to that, we will work closely with Wikimedia
 Foundation
 Product and Technology departments to ensure the value of Working Group
 conversations.

 The question regarding time commitment is valid and we are happy to
 discuss
 it with people interested in participating in the Working Groups. We
 want
 everyone to be realistic about the extent of work ahead of us, but also
 need diversity of perspectives in the Working Groups to have meaningful
 conversations and a successful process. We have now specified the
 language
 to expectation of “*an average* of 5 hours per week”

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Official disclaimers

If you edit that page you should be aware of the legal implications of what you 
write. You can consult our lawyers or Jimbo if you need to. It should be 
tailored to whatever is unique about your language or nation. Not sure if there 
is some global policy somewhere. It is legal. It limits liability by notifying 
users of various realities, such as, we cannot, and do not, guarantee 
reliability, so use at your own risk.

Hi,

All WMF wikis have a "Disclaimers" link at the bottom.

The target page often includes language that sounds legal, but they can be
edited by people who don't have any official legal role or certification.

Is there a general, global policy about how the name of this link is
translated, and about what is written on the page where it leads?

Hi,

All WMF wikis have a "Disclaimers" link at the bottom.

The target page often includes language that sounds legal, but they can be
edited by people who don't have any official legal role or certification.

Is there a general, global policy about how the name of this link is
translated, and about what is written on the page where it leads?
