[Mark SHUTTLEWORTH]

Dear Željko, Takashi and Ziko

Thanks for your messages. As Takashi says, they are already available but
unfortunately a log-in is needed. However, some of the talks will be made
available more publicly a little later and I'll let you know when they go
live.

Best regards

Mark

 Dear Friends and Colleagues

 Many thanks for your messages and apologies for the slow response.

 I've discussed the situation with my colleagues and everyone agrees
 that we could certainly consider waiving the fee in the right
 circumstances, and we've updated the conference website (
 https://ctn.hkbu.edu.hk/wikiconf2021/) to reflect this. I haven't yet
 made a rapid grant request but I'll certainly follow that up, and I'm also
 wondering if that suggestion that Anne made earlier was still possibly on
 the table? Unfortunately it would be difficult to reschedule the conference
 at this stage to allow an application via the Conference Grants round
 though.

 Anyone with an interest in translation on Wikipedia would be very
 welcome to submit a paper proposal. The Call for Papers assumes that paper
 proposals will be research-based but I think it would be really excellent
 to have contributions from practitioners as well, and if we have enough we
 could for example dedicate a session to them. I also think the opportunity
 that the conference could potentially give for stimulating exchanges
 between practitioners and researchers would be very exciting.

 Best regards

 Mark

 Further to my message at the end of last month and the queries that
 one or two of you made, I'd like to notify you of the following:

 1. the conference will now be 100% online

 30th June 2021

 Dear friends and colleagues

 Please permit me to publicise an academic conference that we're holding
 at Hong Kong Baptist University on 15-17 December 2021.

 The conference will be an ideal forum in which to discuss research
 methodologies, issues of collaborativity, theoretical frameworks that have
 proven valuable for the study of Wikipedia translation, the use of
 Wikipedia in the translation classroom and by translation professionals,
 and the nature of Wikipedia translation and how it differs not only from
 other more traditional types of translation but also from other newly
 emerging types. While the conference's main focus is interlingual
 translation within the online encyclopaedia, we are also interested
 in research into the multilingual Wikipedia that makes no explicit
 reference to translation issues.

 The conference will be online, face-to-face or mixed mode, depending on
 prevailing circumstances. Please see the conference website at
 https://ctn.hkbu.edu.hk/wikiconf2021/ for full details and the Call
 for Papers.

 I hope to see some of you there!

Hi Mark,

If you are willing to consider postponing the event just a bit, to January,
you can also apply for the upcoming Conference Grants round. The deadline
for submission will be in early September.

I'm happy to help and answer any questions.

This looks lovely, thank you for organizing it Mark.
You can submit a rapid grant request
 for support for
online participation.

This seems like something of interest to developers of Translate
 + Content Translation
 + translatewiki
, the current WMF language
& translation team ,
and the people working on Lexicographical data
 in
Wikidata :)  You might want to explicitly invite some of those networks.

Hi Mark,

I strongly suggest that the organizers request a budgetary support through
a WMF grant while there is still ample time before the event.


Kind regards,

 It may be worthwhile for the WMF to agree to take a certain number of
 slots and pay for them, and then allot them to people with a significant
 history of translation on our projects on a first come/first served basis;
 honestly, they could support the registration fees for 25 editors for less
 than 500 USD.  That's a bargain, especially if they want to shift the focus
 to translation into smaller projects.

 I hope that the conference goes well.

[Subhashish]

I totally agree with Rajeeb too. A Wikimedian who is otherwise volunteering
and would like to share their findings/observations with others over an
online event would already be extending their volunteer hours just for
applying and preparing for a conference. Asking them to pay is not fair
whatever the reason is, and especially when many developing countries are
grappling with huge health and economic disasters (not to mention the
environmental disaster that recently hit the eastern coast of India or what
Indonesia and the Philippines face on a regular basis). This is precisely
the reason some volunteers are disbursed for their internet expenses when
they participate in a discussion series in some of the events. I know it
might not be easy for an edu institution that might already be struggling
with funding to organize an event, but this event is focused on the
Wikimedia movement and is special for many. Exclusion for financial reasons
should be seriously thought about.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Just to confirm, we have reduced the
registration fees very significantly since taking the decision to go
online, and they are now as stated by Anne below. We hope that the new fee
level will permit anyone to attend who would be interested to, although if
need be I can also take Rajeeb's suggestion to the organising committee and
see if it might be possible to provide some financial help where necessary.
Anne, many thanks for your sponsorship suggestion, and if something like

Dear friends and colleagues,

Hope my mail finds you all in the best of health and spirit. It is good
news that the conference is happening and not put off due to the pandemic,
I would like to thank the organizers for taking the conference to 100%
online.

Though not happy as one needs to pay for the registration fee especially
when the event is online and due to pandemic people are and have lost jobs.

I would like to request the organizers to give a thought on this matter.

Namaste,

Rajeeb.

 Dear friends and colleagues

 Please permit me to publicise an academic conference that we're holding
 at Hong Kong Baptist University on 15-17 December 2021.

 The conference will be an ideal forum in which to discuss research
 methodologies, issues of collaborativity, theoretical frameworks that have
 proven valuable for the study of Wikipedia translation, the use of
 Wikipedia in the translation classroom and by translation professionals,
 and the nature of Wikipedia translation and how it differs not only from
 other more traditional types of translation but also from other newly
 emerging types. While the conference's main focus is interlingual
 translation within the online encyclopaedia, we are also interested
 in research into the multilingual Wikipedia that makes no explicit
 reference to translation issues.

 The conference will be online, face-to-face or mixed mode, depending on
 prevailing circumstances. Please see the conference website at
 https://ctn.hkbu.edu.hk/wikiconf2021/ for full details and the Call
 for Papers.

 I hope to see some of you there!

While I understand that this could be a concern if it was a large fee, it
works out to about $13 USD/11 Euros for observer status, and double that
