Re: [Wikimedia-l] RfC: Works which can't be freely licensed
But, my initial point was: Am I missing something? Would there be any reason why such grammar would have sense without ND clause? Milos, Could we not import these works onto Wikisource in original format, where they would be preserved without permitting altering from the original? Wikisource community is a 'free-culture' equivalent of ND - altering the original is considered to be vandalism. This makes perfect sense to me. But since Milos asked: In Wikisource changing the original is indeed vandalism, but somebody must notice that it's vandalism. AFAIK Wikisource doesn't have a proper way to authenticate that the document is in its original form. The immediate geeky thing that comes to mind is to add some digital signature or checksum to the version that Matica Srpska considers the authoritative one and to declare that anything that doesn't have the same checksum is not the normative grammar. Another example from the Free software world is TeX, which can be relevant here: It is released under a Free license, and modification is allowed, but modified versions cannot be called TeX. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX#License Making it ND is a problem not just because of free licensing purism. Just for the sake of the example, let's say that this normative grammar is a book in four parts: pronunciation, spelling, morphology and syntax. I am teaching a course on Serbian morphology and I want to use the corresponding chapter, and no others. Printing all chapters would waste paper, but printing only one chapter would violate the ND clause. Of course, teachers all around the world do it all the time anyway, but we don't want to violate anything, right? :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Renewal of Recognition to Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil
Hello Carlos, Thanks by all information regarding the new Affcom's decisions for an user group renewal. Only to clarify, my question was based on the Wikimedia User Group Agreement where is specified that an User Group and its agents must submit a written activity report in English to the community each year. More specifically, on the item 3.Your Obligations. You and your User Group must: d.submit, as instructed by WMF, an annual written activity report in English to the Wikimedia community and WMF; This obligation changed too? My point is not to cause any trouble, I'm asking it here only because we, the members and people that endorsed the Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil did not receive any information regarding the renewal application or any report was published on pt.wikipedia or br.wikimedia.org. Best regards Rodrigo Padula 2015-02-22 10:23 GMT-03:00 Carlos M. Colina ma...@wikimedia.org.ve: Dear Rodrigo, The requirements for WUGs are very simple and the Affiliation Committee has been working recently on making the process of renewing the recognition of WUGs as straighforward as possible, since it is something relatively new and we have seen there is plenty of room for improvement.. This means that in the event a WUG is complying with the basic recognition requirements, is not transgreding basic rules of conduct against other wikimedians and there are actively committed Wikimedians behind it working to advance the mission of our movement, the Affiliations Committee will continue recognizing it as a movement affiliate and would encourage other volunteers to either join it, create another one, or simply work as an individual, which is perfectly valid. For the AffCom, the simple will expressed from the contact persons from a specific WUG regarding their interest in renovating the recognition is considered enough proof of activity, along with some details provided in the communication. There is no need for a report of activities with a raised seal and stuff :-). I hope this clarifies any doubt you have about the recognition of the WCUG Brasil.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Who are the nicest people on our projects ?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Faebot/thanks I have now set up a monthly report of the top 10 thankers / thankees with an index to the different project reports on the above link. These have been generated retrospectively for 2014 and I will shortly set this up on WMF labs to run at the beginning of each month to add last month's results.* Rather than running this automatically for several hundred projects, I am happy to add projects on request (so long as the thanks extension is being regularly used by more than 10 people!). Just drop a note on my meta talk page to request the addition. I have haphazardly picked 6 of the busiest projects to get started on, mainly as a multi-language test, not because I favour one language Wikipedia over another. :-) Time for someone to create a thank you barnstar of super thanks ? This is one of many ad-hoc reports run as Faebot, but if it becomes especially useful or critical to outreach projects I'll consider moving a stable version to a special bot account or similar. * - At the time of writing, the tables for 2014 are being generated. This may take the rest of the day to complete! If your project has recently been added, the reports might have to wait for the next monthly run depending on how much free wiki-time I have.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Join the Wikimedia strategy consultation
I think it is great that this is organised this way. To me it sounds a good idea to have periodical this kind of consultations. It is a dialogue with the community.

This process is obviously geared to differ widely from the last. Hopefully it will be a good approach for everyone. In terms of the nature of the conversation, it is about the future of the movement. There's already quite a lot of feedback on the talk page from people who seem happy to discuss exactly that.
