Re: [Wikimedia-l] Berkman Klein Center: Will Wikipedia exist in, 20 years?

Great, thank you Asaf. Would it possible (both technically and legally) to also transfer subtitles? They would surely need some fixes, as it's automated (I guess) transcription , but it would probably be less workload than a transcription from scratch. If so, I would be happy to translate it

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference 2018: Program themes, eligibility criteria and reporting deadlines

I just want to add my 2p on this. I raised my eyebrows last year when so many people were invited to WMCON but I could see the rationale for one-off face-to-face strategy conversations. However I am concerned by the idea that WMCON is now turning into a large, standing,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference 2018: Program themes, eligibility criteria and reporting deadlines

While it is true that there are now for *some* languages also organizations that have it as their specific goal to support those (Amical has been doing that for Catalan for a long time, though), this is not the case for most major languages. In the whole field of affiliates, including user groups,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference 2018: Program themes, eligibility criteria and reporting deadlines

Hi all, Thanks for pointing this out. I agree that “representing” is not the right word. I wrote: “The biggest ten language/project communities (by numbers of active editors [>5 edits/month]) that are not represented by any affiliate, or have an affiliate, which is not eligible because it was

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference 2018: Program themes, eligibility criteria and reporting deadlines

The conference was born from the old affiliate model but that is not representative of where we are now and for all its flaws and advantages, the affiliate model has become very different. Affiliates in some cases really do represent, projects, languages and topics to varying degrees. In some

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Conference 2018: Program themes, eligibility criteria and reporting deadlines
