[Wikimedia-l] VisualEditor monthly newsletter is now multilingual
(Apologies for cross-posting.) Hi all, I'm glad to announce that the *monthly VisualEditor newsletter* was recently marked for translation for the first time: we had received several related community requests. The issue for September and October [0] was delivered in 10 languages to the editors who signed up in the past months (please join them! [1]) in addition to a list of relevant pages which includes at a minimum all the Wikipedias where VisualEditor is already the default editor [2]. Future time windows for translations will be announced through the Translators mailing list [3], or personally to volunteers who want to help with this task; please contact me off-list to indicate your availability. *The November issue is now open for translations and will be delivered in a few days [4]. * Special thanks to our awesome community of translators, to Guillaume for assisting me in setting up the whole mechanism, to Whatamidoing (WMF) for providing the contents and to James F. for reviewing them.

At the same time, we would like to extend our thanks to our outgoing board members, *Carlos M Colina, Samuel Cirilo *and* Fhaidel Dominguez*, for their service to the Board and to Wikimedia Venezuela.

I am quite saddened to hear this news - in Wikipedia's early years and while the Wikimedia Foundation was being created, Alex was a tremendously important part of the community. In addition to helping draft the original bylaws and providing other legal advice, he deserves credit for his part in shaping our culture of high standards for dealing with copyrights, licensing obligations, and other legal issues. I'm glad that I was able to meet him in person at Wikimania in Boston, when he was still a somewhat active participant. --Michael Snow ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the MediaWiki Stakeholder's Group
I actually raised this when we were drafting the resolution. :P Josh Wiadomość napisana przez Chris Keating chriskeatingw...@gmail.com w dniu 10 lis 2014, o godz. 20:27: PS: Stakeholder's or Stakeholders? Stakeholders or Stakeholders' would be correct. Stakeholder's implies there is one stakeholder only - presumably not the intention.
