Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: [Wikimediauk-l] visual Editor is now worth using in outreach editathons

2015-07-30 Thread Arnau Duran
We (in Amical) always try to teach editing using the visual editor, it's
much easier for newbies, especially for older (+40) people or non-techies.
Obviously we also mention "that other tab which leads to some weird code"
but we almost never dig into it, it's not necessary for them to know
wikicode in order to successfully contribute to wikipedia. Everything is
easier with VE.

That's true. My apologies :)

anyway since I sent it let me explain, we (Amical) are having a monthly
meeting with Catalan Wikipedia community editors via IRC chat. I think it's
a good practice that you all can put in practice in your respective wikis.

Sorry again!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [WCA] Chapters Portal - Yet another Summary of information on Meta

2013-04-25 Thread Arnau Duran
Thank you for that centralitzed page, it is true that many times it is
really difficult to find info on Meta.

However I disagree on the name - if it's going to cointain information
about Chapters, Thematic organizations and User groups, it shouldn't be
named "Chapters Portal" but something like "Movement affiliates Portal"
(see Wikimedia affiliation
models<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_affiliation_models>
).
