Hello everyone! If you are curious to see what we learned from discussing the topic of tech ambassadors and translators with you, head to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Technical_Collaboration/Community_collaboration_in_product_development/Tech_ambassadors_and_translators#Feedback_period_is_over to find out.
We'll work towards having very active wikis covered by at least one tech ambassadors each, so this is another reminder to please add your name to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Ambassadors/List , and/or to tell other people who you know would be great in that role to please sign up. Once this list is big enough, we'll start having focused conversations with the interested people. (Still, don't forget about the translators' table at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Translators/List ! ) Thanks for participating so far, have a great weekend, and talk to you soon, Erica On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 9:55 PM, Erica Litrenta <elitre...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > hey all, > > On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 3:16 PM, Erica Litrenta <elitre...@wikimedia.org> > wrote: >> >> (A translated version of this message may be available at Meta.) >> >> >> Greetings everyone, >> >> >> Wikimedia Foundation’s community liaisons want to continue improving the >> collaboration between WMF software development teams and our communities.
