Hi, The latest tech newsletter is now available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2015/22 . Below is the English version. The wiki version went out to subscribers yesterday but I forgot to send it to the list; my apologies.
You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next. More information on how to contribute is available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute . You can also contact me directly. As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged. ————————————————————————————— Other languages: العربية <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/ar> • čeština <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/cs> • English • español <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/es> • suomi <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/fi> • français <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/fr> • עברית <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/he> • हिन्दी <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/hi> • italiano <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/it> • Ripoarisch <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/ksh> • português <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/pt> • русский <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/ru> • українська <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/uk> • Tiếng Việt <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/vi> • 中文 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/22/zh> Latest *tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the Wikimedia technical community.
