2013-05-27 Thread J Alexandr Ledbury-Romanov 
Please join me in welcoming our new Wikimedia-l list
administrator/moderator, Richard Ames. Richard is a retired electronics
technician and computer scientist living in Sydney, Australia. He started
using the 'Internet' in 1981 to read USENET FAQs and communicate by email.
He has been a Wikipedia editor since 2004 as User:Ariconte. He is a member
of the FDC advisory group.

I will remain on as administrator/moderator for a short transition period.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Zero in Google search result

2013-05-27 Thread Benjamin Chen 
Hi,

I noticed that when I'm searching on Google, many Wikipedia results are in the 
form of lang-code.zero.wikipedia.org, perhaps just since a day or two ago.

I'm not sure what items are indexed this way, but it would really be a trouble 
- there is no link on the page that jumps you to the standard site (even the 
notice links to main page of m.wikipedia.org, not the corresponding article on 
m.wikipedia.org)

Regards,

Benjamin Chen / [[User:Bencmq]]

Re: [Wikimedia-l] endangered languages project -> Tool for map representation

2013-05-27 Thread Mathieu Stumpf 

Hi, I foward this mail to design, since it seems relevant here.

As far as I know, currently there is no other way to create (world)maps 
than taking some existing blank one, and put the color on regions of 
interest. Maybe it would be intersting to have such a tool online, but 
more important, to ease contributors ability to make interactive maps, 
which enable readers to see how a phenomenon evolved/is evolving through 
time.


What do you think ?

Thank you for the link.

It seems to be the result of a realy huge work! Do you know if their
solution to create interactive map is free software? I would love to 
have
such a tool within wikimedia. To my mind, it would be really useful 
for
geographic and historical articles. Having a tool that would enable 
to
"watch events propagation through time and localisation on a map" 
would be

awesome, and it seems to me that their software is almost all that.



Hi Mathieu,

I don't know anything about this project beyond what's on the site -- 
I
just ran across it. From what I can tell the user-submitted language 
data
is CC-by but unfortunately they seem to be using Google Maps for the 
map

interface.

Thanks for the announcement, Salvador.
It was a really hard work to coordinate the recordings in Buenos Aires,
Puebla, Jerusalem and La Paz, but I think we did a good job :)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Google Planning Wireless Networks To Connect The Next 1B People

2013-05-27 Thread Kul Wadhwa 
Microsoft with other partners has also been working on bringing broadband
to Kenya (and ultimately other African countries) via white spaces:

http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-eyes-white-spaces-to-bring-broadband-to-rural-kenya-710897/

However, every party has their own agenda so hopefully competition lowers
prices and gives people more choices. And having many entities working to
get people internet access (esp those that really need it) is what we need
to see more of...
