Sometimes people send blank e-mails by accident, it's best to just ignore them.

An update on localisation in MediaWiki (2009)

Forwarded to the list on behalf of Siebrand Mazeland.

----

On 31 December 2007 and 1 January 2008 I sent an e-mail to which this is a
follow up[1,2].

First things first, because not everyone reads e-mails completely:
* MediaWiki localisation (that is the translation of English source messages
to other languages) depends on you! If you speak a language other than
English, care about your language in MediaWiki and Wikimedia and like
translating, go to http://translatewiki.net, register a user and start
contributing translations for MediaWiki and MediaWiki extensions. When your
localisation is complete, keep coming back regularly to re-complete it and
do quality control. Thank you in advance for all your contributions and
effort.
* The i18n and L10n area of MediaWiki requires continuous efforts. If this
area of FOSS has your interest: we need your help. Please offer your
development skills to further MediaWiki's i18n, L10n and translation
capabilities[3,4].

All statistics are based on MediaWiki 1.16 alpha, SVN version r60527 (31
December 2009). Comparisons are to MediaWiki 1.14 alpha, SVN version r45277
(1 January 2009).

See http://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki_2009 for a wiki version of this
message.

With 2 personal phone numbers? Nevermind it seems that one of them has
the wrong area code (although I might be wrong), which suggests that
the phone numbers were the only things intended for that email.

Those are probably just their standard signature.

That was my point, if it's a signature then the numbers would have
been right, if my original assumption was right - that one number has
the area code wrong - then the OP typed those in for this email. Which
brings me back to my original reply: wtf

Wiktionary content is used in KDE

Hi!

Just read press-release on http://planetkde.org.

http://eng.i-iter.org/content/unlocking-free-data-parley-%E2%80%93-wiktionary

I think Foundation statement will be useful to advertise usage of our
content beyond our sites.

Eugene.

Re: Fundraising banners

Congrats to the WMF on raising all the necessary funds.

I'm sure plenty was learned for next year's effort.

I've always been curious that the fundraiser runs over Christmas. I
thought that would be a time when people are watching their pennies.
What's the reason for that? Just curious, as obviously it has been a
success.

Yay!
