Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community Tech survey on watchlist use

Hi! How could one participate in the survey? I've just scrolled through past issues of Tech News and did not find any mention of the survey, nor I remember it mentioned in any other place. Was there some way to find about it besides from this list? Which readers are clearly not the most

Wikimedia community consists of many professionals of very different trades. I am pretty sure we have professional graphic designers within the community who would willingly do the work done for free. Just a small effort should be done reaching them. --Base On 04.12.2015 2:21, geni wrote: On

That is not a small thing. That is an enormous thing. We show people some unfree image while propagating free stuff. Hypocrisy? We are speaking about thousands of people seeing it. It is good that the stuff was removed, but from my point of view that another image with link to an external

Yeah ad is the word. We claim Wikipedia being ad-less but actually we are showing people stuff which only in deep sense is different from ads but looks exactly the same. Or, actually, in this case it looks worse. I really have a difficulty recalling a site which shows me so little content

I agree with the first statement that the level should be removed. It has a trail of bad usage it is connected with. As to whether to renew it under some policy, I would trust such tool only in hands of stewards, not WMF. WMF which consists of considerable part of staffers who ain't even

The farther you go from actually wiki the more cabals you get. Secret teams, secret decisions, powers in single hand or in hand of a tiny group of people selected by criteria unknown. It goes for lists, chats, social media pages and whatever out-of-wiki stuff. It's too sad why can't wikimedia

Hi guys. Just how many GLAM lists do we have? Not counting regional ones, I know of GLAM, Cultural-Partners, Libraries, got to know about existence of some the paris group (not sure if it's even a mailing list technically, but in case it's not then it's weird even more). Perhaps there are

I don't see why employees (no diff whether it's about WMF or affiliates) who are not also volunteers should have the vote right. It's up to Wikimedia movement to chose it's lead. The non-volunteering employees are outsiders who are just hired to do some stuff for us since we tend to be lazy. If
