[Wikitech-l] Rotating pictures idea
I talked to Charlotte SH Jensen at the National Museum in Copenhagen yesterday. We've been talking and doing stuff for several years, so we have a huge backlog of ideas that didn't work, but we're still able to find new things to do. One idea that came up yesterday is rotating pictures on Wikipedia. We hope to get people to do something at the #hack4dk hackathon in early October. See the idea at https://hackdash.org/projects/55e99d6174d6ac1d21451575, and more about #hack4dk at http://hack4.dk/ Regards, Ole Palnatoke Andersen, Wikimedia Danmark -- http://palnatoke.org * @palnatoke * +4522934588 ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] Refs in headings: Broken or feature?
The article https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik,_Prinsgemalen has a large number of sections, so it shows a table of contents. That works fine, except one of the headings includes a ref, and the entire ref is shown in the TOC. Is that on purpose? Is it a new thing? Can it be changed? Could the note perhaps even be invisible in the TOC? Where can I read more about this?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Anonymous editors IP addresses
To my knowledge, there are currently six of these Twitter bots (Canada, Denmark, France, Sweden, UK, US). I have collected them in a Twitter list: https://twitter.com/palnatoke/lists/wikiedit Please speak up if you notice more, so I can include them in the list, too. Regards, Ole On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 3:34 PM, Gilles Dubuc gil...@wikimedia.org wrote: This interesting bot showed up on hackernews today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8018284 While in this instance the access to anonymous' editors IP addresses is definitely useful in terms of identifying edits with probable conflict of interest, it makes me wonder what the history is behind the fact that anonymous editors are identified by their IP addresses on WMF-hosted wikis. IP addresses are closely guarded for registered users, why wouldn't anonymous users be identified by a hash of their IP address in order to protect their privacy as well? The exact same functionality of being able to see all edits by a given anonymous IP would still exist, the IP itself just wouldn't be publicly available, protected with the same access rights as registered users'. The use case that makes me think of that is someone living in a totalitarian regime making a sensitive edit and forgetting that they're logged out. Or just being unaware that being anonymous on the wiki doesn't mean that their local authorities can figure out who they are based on IP address and time. Understanding that they're somewhat protected when logged in and not when logged out requires a certain level of technical understanding. The easy way out of this argument is to state that these users should be using Tor or something similar. But I still wonder why we have this double standard of protecting registered users' privacy in regards to IP addresses and not applying the same for anonymous users, when simple hashing would do the job. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- http://palnatoke.org * @palnatoke * +4522934588 ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Sometime around the chapters meeting seems as good a time as any. Or maybe attached as a few days before/after the Amsterdam hackathon. The developers actually involved think that April it's too late. Tomasz Finc and Max Semenik have the lead on our end. They are also convinced that it is better to organize it next to an existing event in order to save organizational effort. This leaves us with Open Source Days, 9-10 March 2013, Copenhagen/Denmark http://www.opensourcedays.org/ What we still miss is a confirmation of the organizers, but the event is held in a business school full of classrooms so I don't expect any problem. See the nice streetmap view of the building at http://www.opensourcedays.org/**2012/transporthttp://www.opensourcedays.org/2012/transport :) I have asked tfinc and MaxSem to forward the relevant emails so I can catch up and confirm the venue asap. Any help from Wikimedia Denmark is welcome, of course. Cristian, your proposal looks very interesting and the only reason not to take it is that the date of the chapters meeting doesn't fit with the developers plans. Would you be open for another tech activity in another occasion?

Are there any takers for supporting a 20-30 people development event in Europe focused on mapping/geodata? I'm suggesting Europe because I know quite a few of the relevant folks are there, but am open to other options as well. Hi, Sorry for bringing up this thread again so late, anyway Wikimedia Italia has found a partner who is willing to organize such an event: the Bruno Kessler Foundation[1] (FBK). FBK is a research centre in Trento (Italy), which is already active in the field; they are also maintaining the Italian version of DBpedia[2]. The event will be held in Trento. They are rather flexible about the dates, but we are suggesting to organize it around the Wikimedia Conference (the days just before or just after the conference) so to focus our efforts in that period; in this way we could also profit from the fact that some people from the WMF staff will already be in Italy (since the WMConf will be held in Milan). Also, we think that organizing it before April will not give a sufficient notice to other developers who may be interested in participating. We already contacted the Italian OSM community which will help to to get in touch the international community. Is this ok for you, can we start make it moving? =) Cristian WM-IT [1] http://www.fbk.eu [2] http://it.dbpedia.org/ Sounds potentially good; the one bit of caution, I think, is that if you can't have the event happen in March or early April, you will possibly cause some participants to *choose* between the mapping event and the late May WMNL hackathon, because they can't take the time to travel to both so close together. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Hackathon_2013 Best of luck in the planning! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- http://palnatoke.org * @palnatoke * +4522934588 ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
