[Wikimedia-l] What community initiatives have made an impact on editor engagement?
Hi everyone, On July 11th at the next WMF Metrics & Activities meeting, myself, Erik Möller, Howie Fung, Maryana Pinchuk, and Dario Taraborelli are going to deliver a short update on the state of Wikimedia editor communities. (For those not familiar: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_and_activities_meetings) This is the beginning of the new fiscal year for the WMF, and we'd like to use this time to recap what we know about the decline or growth of Wikimedia communities. We're focusing on the following set of questions... * Are Wikimedia projects as a whole in decline? * Is English Wikipedia in decline? * Which WMF projects have been successful in driving growth? * Which non-WMF trends have driven growth (e.g. community projects)? * How does data/measurement enable us to drive growth? * Which future changes are expected to drive growth? I'm reaching out to this list on behalf of the team, so that we can get a list of the non-WMF projects that have had a measurable impact on the size or diversity of Wikimedia projects. One obvious example that comes to mind is Wiki Loves Monuments. Others are the Wikipedia Challenge in Kiswahili and Setswana, and edit-a-thons, such as this year's fashion edit-a-thon put together by Wikimedia Sverige. What am I missing from this list? -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

[Wikimedia-l] Blocked in Togo?
There is a report on English WP:ANI that English, French and Swedish versions of Wikipedia have been blocked by all ISP and government servers in the Republic of Togo, and small areas of the Republic of Benin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ANI#Wikipedia_has_been_blocked_in_Togo.2C_and_parts_of_Benin . ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
Re: [Wikimedia-l] Tapping into the Backbone
In our earlier discussion about PRISM. Whether the intelligence agencies could, if they felt it within their remit, access edits and other actions, and, of course, passwords. Obviously they can easily if they are not encrypted. Common sense, on the other hand will inform you that nothing we do would be of interest to an intelligence agencies focused on actual threats.

[Wikimedia-l] Tapping into the Backbone
"The GCHQ mass tapping operation has been built up over five years by attaching intercept probes to transatlantic fibre-optic cables where they land on British shores carrying data to western Europe from telephone exchanges and internet servers in north America. This was done under secret agreements with commercial companies, described in one document as "intercept partners"." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa Fred ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
Re: [Wikimedia-l] [VereinAT-l] On now: European Dialog on Internet Governance
Thanks Bishakha for sharing this, I wasn't aware of this. I am thinking about it since quite a while and I guess the community here could help me to get an opinion on it: Wouldn't it be sensible for Wikimedia Chapters to become members of their local ISOC chapters? ISOC has chapters in many countries and a similar structure like Wikimedia, with geographical chapter organisation (well, there is ISOC Belgium + ISOC Wallonia...) and I think the ISOC would be a good entry into engaging in internet governance. Are there any chapters which are ISOC members? I only heard once about WMIL cooperating with ISOC IL so far. /Manuel Am 21.06.2013 07:48, schrieb Bishakha Datta: > Here's a call from ISOC for applying for funding to attend the Internet > Governance Forum to be held 22-25 October in Bali: > http://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/education-and-leadership-programmes/next-generation-leaders/igf-ambassadors-programme > > Deadline: 24 June. > > 2013 calendar of the Internet Governance Forum at: > http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/content/article/121-preparatory-process/1278-2013-calendar > > Includes the European Dialog on Internet Governance that is on now. -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 34066-22 - www.wikimedia.ch ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
