[Wikimedia-l] Re: Wikimedia Indonesia AGM

Hello Delphine, I am so grateful to have a chance to work with you. You are my big sister+friend in this movement. I remember the first time I edited Indonesian Wikipedia was 16 years ago, when I was in high school. At the time, personal computers and the internet were not widely used in

Hey SJ Yes working to add OWID both to the sources tab. With respect to translation, am in discussion with OWID and they have no capacity to add this infrastructure for a couple of years. We will need to build something ourselves if we want it sooner. Am looking for volunteers who are interested

Fantastic. I would include OWID in the Sources attribution line in the embeds. Do they already have a start at translation? A strings file associated w/ each map? On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 4:52 PM James Heilman wrote: > We at Wiki Project Med are working to get Our World in Data (OWID) working >

Next thing we need is clear consensus that the Basque community wants this. In the form of a RfC with greater than 60% support should do. Ping me when this is developed and happy to help bring it forwards to the WMF leadership and technical folks. James On Wed, Mar 2, 2022 at 8:20 AM Galder

THIS IS GREAT. One of the best uses of cc I have seen lately. At Basque wikipedia we have been trying to include maps uing data uploaded to commons and then using Kartographer directly. But this solution is way better. What would we need to deploy there and serve as an example of what can be

Some thoughts: * Being neutral is not the same as not taking a side in a conflict. We can take side with human rights. * There are wars elsewhere in the world. If we take a decision over Ukraine, then other wikimedians may ask the same kind of decisions when another country invades a

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Our World in Data (OWID)

Hoi James, The biggest bottleneck to innovation is our own community process. It is also an impossibility to get Wikimedia to consider how it performs for specific groups of students. Never mind. When you want to increase the value of "Our World in Data", it helps when their identifiers are

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Sanctions against the Russian Federation; support for Ukrainian Wikimedians
