[Wikimedia-l] Experiences with community living?
Hei ;) These last months I have been visiting and living in several intentional communities to learn and understand what works for me and what doesn't. If done right, it is a great environment to have a simple life full of joy and happiness. I was wondering if anyone else in the WM movement is interested or has experience with tech/open knowledge communities? There is something like that in SF [1], but it seems to be more for profit and not volunteer-run, which for me is a must. Oh, btw, happy st valentine's. Love for all!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Engineering Community
Hoi, When the community and the developers are to be more involved, I want to share with you the kind of discussions we have far, far away in Wikidata land. There are a few thing you must know. - most subjects are not covered in any Wikipedia - we want to link to subjects that are not present at present in a Wikipedia - we want to show the information as much as possible preferably in the local language - we want to ensure that vandals in Wikidata will not destroy the credibility of a Wikipedia or Wikidata This is mostly an engineering issue as most of these issues have a proof of concept. So yes, we very much want engineering and community to be more mutually engaged.

It is obvious that you care about the VisualEditor because you have self nominated it. That is fine. I do not care either about it so you already lost me. Given that this is the Wikimedia list and not the Wikipedia list I hope you find my reply obvious and irritating. When you want to engage all of us, make sure that you do not phrase a general plea for engagement in something that is mostly Wikipedia. Thanks, GerardM On 11 February 2015 at 21:31, Damon Sicore dsic...@wikimedia.org wrote: Dear Wikimedians, We are changing our engineering processes to improve how we engage with you -- our valued contributors and editors -- around software development. We are beginning with the collaborative buildout and deployment of VisualEditor. We are moving community engagement processes and product decisions into earlier stages of development, and making them iterative. In a perfect world this process would start prior to feature development, but in this case VisualEditor is already in-flight, so your participation now is critical. With your participation, we can work together to ensure this new process works. In this new process, we commit to: • Collectively identify success criteria for each target audience, from new editors (simple feature set) to expert editors (complex feature set). • Ensure success criteria represents the quantified and qualified goals. The feature will only be shipped when the success criteria is met. • Enable the feature for only portions of specific audiences that would best benefit (a process known as “incremental roll-out”) at a time. • Triage and prioritize all bugs and feature requests on a weekly basis to ensure they are addressed in a timely fashion. Publicly post responses, assessment, and target implementations. This will replace the RFP process and ensure we are tracking on all requested features efficiently. How you can engage: • Report bugs or enhancement requests in Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/visualeditor/ • Join any of the weekly triage meetings to nominate a release blocker. Please see the instructions at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:VisualEditor/Portal • Participate in development. You can find the team on IRC in the #mediawiki-visualeditor channel on irc.freenode.net. We are excited to get this long-standing feature to the level of quality and success we all want and need. It is a collective effort. You are not only a stakeholder, but an active contributor in this work. We want to all to be proud of the outcome. Please participate now. All my best, Damon — Damon Sicore VP of Engineering Wikimedia Foundation dsic...@wikimedia.org ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/guidelineswikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe ___ 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

Thanks Fabrice! This is pure sweetness. St. Valentine's Day comes but once a year! Emily Blanchard On Feb 13, 2015, at 9:38 PM, Pine W wiki.p...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Fabrice. I would be interested in an office hour about social media strategy in general. Do you think that an office hour could be arranged? The office hour discussion could inform future curations, as well as editor engagement and reader engagement efforts. Thanks!

All your fine suggestions broadened our perspectives about love. Together, we found some really well-written, factual and nuanced articles, as well as many humorous, dramatic or beautiful images, which gave us a better understanding about love and why it matters. Thanks for putting this together! I really like when we can highlight some of the beautiful content we have, particularly media on Commons. :-) What do you think about this curation experiment? It's cute, but probably as a once a year kind of thing.

What kinds of communications from WMF would you like to see? Please volunteer to co-mentor my GSoC proposal: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accuracy_review There is absolutely no way I can possibly do this without a co-mentor from the WMF or WEF. It's not a hard task, and one of the major benefits I just learned yesterday is a robust implementation of per-word text attribution, which amazingly still hasn't been available to the wider community in a way that handles reverted blanking and text moves since WikiTrust went offline. Maribel Acosta, Fabian Floeck, and Andriy Rodchenko did a suitable replacement algorithm in 2013, but it hasn't been folded back into the Wikimedia Utilities distribution. Please, WMF engineering staff, remember 2.5 years ago when I was literally the only one publicly arguing that you should be paid market rate for tech workers instead of lower nonprofit worker salaries? I took so much public abuse and scorn for that for over a year until it happened. Please consider giving back by co-mentoring the accuracy review GSoC proposal. It shouldn't take more than a few hours per week over the summer.

I would also recommend checking the Intentional Communities' directory as part of your search.
