We are looking for new administrator-moderators for Wikimedia-l. Ryan
Lomonaco left the team a while ago, and I plan on stepping down as soon as
the new team is on board.

Hi All,
as discussed in London and Milan, I have submitted a presentation proposal for
Wikimania 2013, aiming to present the first overview of Wikimedia Chapters in
general, showing several metrics we have discussed (membership, financials,
growth rates etc.) and looking for some benchmarks
Re David's point One of the biggest problems in MT is word
disambiguation. I'm sure that this would be correct, though probably more
strongly in some languages than in others. English for example has many
words with meanings as diverse as bonnet (headware, a type of chili and in

I have two presentations in at the conference, one specifically about

All European languages, with the exception of Basque, are essentially one
language with different vocabulary. MT should generally work, but needs
help as the example shows. The big, and perhaps insurmountable, problem
comes with trying to use it with say, Hopi, which assigns meanings in a

From what I read, Apertium also supports morphological analyzers (like:

for a first stage development. Later on it could be expanded to support
languages that don't use words. In any case I think it is preferable to

Dear Wikimedians,
On behalf of the Wikimania 2014 selection Jury, after review and
evaluation of the two final bids, we have awarded the conference to
London. Congratulations to the London team, and to the Arusha team who
also put forward a solid effort.
We were concerned this year to see that
Congratulations to the London team, and great work on all parties for
proposals. It's quite a task, and one that is at times just as emotional
and intensive in actually planning Wikimania.
I look forward to lending a hand with London, and I really look forward to
partying at the Tate Modern ;)
Congratulations to the London team for your successful bid and to the Arusha
team for putting in a solid effort! I look forward to getting my UK groove on
next year.

Hi, Deryck.
Thank you. Apology accepted. I look forward to working with WMHK on a
suitable plan for development (even right now, though I'm guessing WMHK has
its hands full till after Wikimania).

Dear Deryck,
many thanks for your letter. It is a relief to know that you're not
assuming bad faith. I really hope that your enthusiasm for Wikimedia will
not die out completely.

personal capacity, but representing the
