-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just a quick reminder about today's office hours with Naoko Komura and the usability team (from 1700 to 1800 UTC). If you do not have an IRC client, there are two ways you can come chat using a web browser: First is using the Wikizine chat gateway at http://chatwikizine.memebot.com/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi. Type a nickname, select irc.freenode.net from the top menu and #wikimedia-office from the following menu, then login to join. Also, you can access Freenode by going to http://webchat.freenode.net/, typing in the nickname of your choice and choosing wikimedia-office as the channel.

Re: [Foundation-l] strategic planning office hours today
I appreciate that the Wikipedia Office is based in the US, and that the staff there have time constraints. However, I feel it is a shame that meetings like this take place at hours which are unlikely to attract users from Europe (UTC to UTC+5) and Africa (UTC-1 to UTC+4). Obviously, with timezones varying so greatly throughout the world we will never be able to satisfy everyone, and I realise that not all meetings are held at this time (and yes, I have missed the other recent meetings which were at a better time for me (UTC) here in Morocco), but I just wanted to highlight that 4am for people based in UK/Ireland/Western Africa, 5am in Western Europe, and 6am Central Europe is not conducive for our participation. Have meetings been tried at 9am West Coast Pacific time (I presume so)? Whilst this may present other problems (people being at work), it might avoid the problems of people being fast asleep. Just my musings on trying to encourage participation from a wider international base.

Re: [Foundation-l] strategic planning office hours today
Hi Alexandr: the strategic planning office hours alternate times every week; some weeks it's at 20:00UTC, and the next at 04:00 UTC. I know it's not perfect, but hopefully it's a step in the right direction. The current schedule can always be found at http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC Philippe On Nov 11, 2009, at 2:48 AM, Alexandr Romanov wrote: I appreciate that the Wikipedia Office is based in the US, and that the staff there have time constraints.

Re: [Foundation-l] Fundraiser tech issues
Hoi, Many of the messages that have to do with the fundraiser can be translated at translatewiki.net. PS the good news is that these messages become available once a day on all the WMF projects :) Thanks, GerardM 2009/11/11 Olli ollinpos...@gmail.com Hi and how can i translate the buttons DONATE WITH PAYPAL because they are untranslated in language:Finnish Olli 2009/11/11 Erik Moeller e...@wikimedia.org The fundraising banners went live yesterday, but in spite of efforts to test them, there were serious issues with their basic functionality and IE6 and IE7. My apologies; it's an inexcusable screw-up on our part, and we won't go live again until we've resolved this. (We're looking into the feedback on the messaging/style of the banners as well, and have been from the beginning.) -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
