Just a quick note to let people know that this is now up and running: https://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=015296225943515200682:ds3sfewbbrw (Note to Ghostery users: you'll have to enable "Google AJAX Search API" to see search results.) I'm slightly annoyed that this is a third-party tool and I'd much prefer a floss alternative running on Tool Labs or something, but until that happens, we have a working tool we can use to search a term across scattered Wikimedia-related glossaries. I'd like to find people to help maintain the URL list (right now there's a version at https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=5406259 ) so if you'd like to help, contact me offlist and I'll give you access. The next step is to better organize the glossaries, and actually add definitions; I'll start another thread later about this. -- Guillaume Paumier Technical Communications Manager — Wikimedia Foundation https://donate.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
