The OLPC community is currently using a custom map mashup to help
volunteers and school projects around the world find one another.[1]

Originally this idea was proposed as something that would be useful to map
out past/forthcoming GLAM collaborations and to divide them by type (content

community things that could be mapped are much broader and therefore it

Before Translatewiki existed it was possible for Wikimedia/Wikipedia
users to improve the translation of the Mediawiki software's message
used on their project into their own language.
It is no longer possible now, because Translatewiki exists, and there
is a powerful Translatewiki lobby within

The free encyclopedia that anyone can translate?
I find Translatewiki.net very user-unfriendly.
WMF could use more than one site for the translations.
For example, I would prefer to use Transifex :

Hoi,
Yes you can localise at your own Wiki. It is even recommended for several
messages, particularly those messages that are specific to messages about
policies and what not particular to your wiki. Such specific texts are
explicitly what we do not want at translatewiki.net because at

CALL FOR PAPERS - WikiSym 2011 - 7th
A friend showed me this thing qwiki today which appears to pull text from
Wikipedia and images from various sources (commons, what have you) to
produce a movie out of any Wikipedia article.
An interesting example: http://www.qwiki.com/q/#!/Hood_River,_Oregon

Hi.
When wikimediafoundation.org was first established (as a fishbowl wiki),
there were concerns expressed about its lack of open editing. For one of the
most prominent wiki and community-based organizations to have a closed site
for its non-profit foundation is rather silly and anachronistic.

Great Work, MZ.
One small point, the buttons on foundation wiki redirect to a the page we
get on FWF page on Meta, the edit page has a newly created header that
includes Wikimedia is not associated with Wikileaks. I think the confusion
with Wikileaks issue is ephemeral and is not as common
I rather welcome these changes. Also I support improvement on Meta
feedback pages: a single page seems a better solution in these days.
Historically the foundation wiki was restricted just for avoiding
spams, as far as I understood. Later we found some users who were
proud of the foundation
