Re: [Wikimedia-l] How lovely live communication works worldwide
Hi, I will try today, for the first time, Palava.tv. Don't know if it's any good, but it is run by a German non-for profit that rely on donations only (thus similar to our sustainability model). If it works well enough it might be worth keeping on one's shortlist. Will let you know.

[Wikimedia-l] Registration open for Chapter Board workshop
***Registration is now open for the Wikimedia Boards Training Workshop in London, 1-2 March 2014.*** Are you a Board member of a Wikimedia Chapter or Thematic Organisation? Then this workshop is for you! We are drawing on expertise from within the Wikimedia movement and beyond to produce a two-day training session which will aim to give Board members the skills and knowledge to do a great job. The programme and venue details for the workshop is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Boards_training_workshop_March_2014 You can register for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/register?orderid=233759341483 Registration is open to all Wikimedia chapter / thematic org board members but those who have, or expect to recruit, staff will gain the most out of it. Registration costs £50, and accommodation options will cost £70 or cost £120 per night. There is a maximum of 20 places available. Some frequently asked questions: * Are there scholarships? Yes. If your chapter / organisation is not able to cover the costs, please fill in the Will you require a scholarship to attend? box on the form with an estimate of how much your travel will be. There will be a number of scholarships on offer. All scholarships offered will cover registration, food, accommodation and travel (no-one is expected to pay for this event out of their own pocket). We will be in touch with everyone requesting a scholarship within 2 weeks with a definite answer. * What if my attendance depends on visas / being re-elected? If you register but are unable to attend because of visa issues, or if you leave your organisation's Board before the workshop, we will offer your place to someone else from your chapter/organisation. Also, if you need a visa, Wikimedia UK will help (e.g. with a letter of invitation). * This is a great idea but is too far away from me - what can I do? This is a first step and hopefully, if it succeeds, there will be more similar events in future. (Hopefully not all of them will be in London or in English, either).

[Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Library's Books and Bytes newsletter
Books Bytes Volume 1, Issue 2, November 2013 by The Interior (talk =B7 contribs), Ocaasi (talk =B7 contribs) Sign up for monthly delivery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Newsletter/Re= cipients Read online: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/= Newsletter/November_2013 Wikipedia Library Highlights New accounts survey TWL is in discussions with several database providers to start new pilot programs for research account donations. Two of the largest research database organizations in the world, EBSCO Publishing and ProQuest, are both interested in learning which of their database services Wikipedians would be most interested in receiving. TWL has put together a survey to help with this, as well as gather more general information about usage, editor satisfaction and the direction Wikipedians would like to see their library moving in. The brief Google Forms survey takes 5-10 minutes, and will be sent out this week to TWL subscribers. JSTOR expired, extended The JSTOR pilot program, which gave 100 free accounts to top article writers, expired this month. Thanks to Steven Walling, an extension until the end of January was secured. Talks with JSTOR are ongoing to keep this valuable resource available free of charge to editors. Sign up for JSTOR. New Metrics New data from the Credo Partnership showed a 500% increase in links to the site in total since the program began. With much larger numbers in general, and a shorter time frame, the HighBeam increase of 390% as of May 2013 is also of interest. Special thanks to Johnuniq for compiling this data. If you are data-inclined, TWL always needs help compiling statistics. These stats are useful not only to our current partners, but also to encouraging prospective new partners to make donations. Help Needed: TWL Account Coordinator TWL is seeking a manager for the coordinated dispersal of donated accounts. The role involves watchlisting the application pages, vetting candidates using a fairly simple set of requirements (1 year activity, 1000 edits on any Wikimedia projects, having email enabled and an expressed desire to use the account for article work), and then emailing the access codes to users. As it stands, this would be not more 1-2 hours of work a week (though it will when new accounts are announced). Great communication and responsiveness so that subscribers get prompt replies to their applications is a must. If you are interested, please get in touch with The Interior or Ocaasi. Apply to be the new Account Coordinator. Wikipedia Visiting Scholars Along with the announcement of a position at George Mason University, a second institution plans to host a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar placement - University of California at Riverside Library.More details on this partnership should be announced in December and over a dozen universities are interested in attending an information session about the program in January. Also in December, George Mason will be seeking applications for their position. For more information on the Visiting Scholar program, see http://enwp.org/WP:WVS. Sign up to be a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar. TWL presents: American Library Association's mid-winter meeting The ALA is the largest library organization in the U.S. TWL has been accepted to present at their mid-winter conference in Philadelphia on January 25th from 1:30 to 3:00pm. The session will introduce academic librarians from around the country to the role Wikipedia can play in learning and research. We will use the session both to introduce TWL's mission and scope, and then to kick-off the Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program with an overview of the initiative and plenty of time for planning and questions. Over a dozen top universities have expressed interest in attending, which bodes very well for the future placing Wikipedians in official research affiliate positions. New Talk: The Future of Libraries and Wikipedia Ocaasi gave the first presentation of The Future of Libraries and Wikipedia to George Mason University. GMU Professor and THATcamp coordinator Amanda French brought students and librarians together for the event. The talk highlights the mission and pillars of Wikipedia, the Wikipedia Library's 5 goals, and 13 to explore the question, What if Wikipedia's was the internet's library? Spotlight on people: Another Believer and Wiki Loves Libraries Books Bytes was pleased to interview two of the community's Wiki Loves Libraries event coordinators, IJethroBT and AnotherBeliever. This fall, both organised edit-a-thons, one in Chicago, and others in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. For this issue, we will present Another Believer=92s interview. Be sure to catch the December issue to hear about IJethroBT=92s experiences. Another Believer is Jason Moore, a Wikipedian based in Portland, Oregon.

Personally I'd be a fan sending it to the main 'wikipedia.org' type landing page. Couple reasons (some larger then others): * I've never really been a fan of assuming that they want to go to a specific languages (biggest reason) * Finding 'other' languages on the main page of wikis (both mobile and not) is possible but significantly easier on the main portal screen. * I kinda like the idea of driving home, to anyone who visits that portal at least, how many different languages we have.
