 BTW, next time a static link to the survey would be useful. Some
 Wikipedians had problems seeing the banner. Either they missed it or
 they disabled banners via vector.css (and forgot about it). Deleting
 cookies isn't easy for everyone as well.

 I suggest making a mini-Extension with a special page that automatically
 redirects to the survey (or alternatively lists all surveys and links to
 them).

 Then we (the unofficially appointed Editor Survey ambassador) could
 just point people to that page.

That's a great idea! I've seen the same problem you describe (although
after the survey had ended).

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads up that Sue will be having one of her regular IRC office
hours in #wikimedia-office this Thursday, April 28th at 17:00 UTC.
Instructions about how to join etc. are on Meta.[1]

As for topics, we were thinking that it might be nice to talk about our
continuing research at the Foundation on new editor retention. Other topics
(Perhaps Wikimania submissions since the deadline is impending?) are welcome
too. We look forward to chatting!

Thanks,

[Foundation-l] 2010 Picture of the Year Competition

2011-04-28 Thread Aaron Adrignola
Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2010 Picture of the Year
competition is now open.  We're interested in your opinion as to which
images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2010. Any user registered
at a Wikimedia wiki since 2010 or prior with more than 200 edits as of 1
January 2011 (UTC) is welcome to vote.   Check your eligibility now.[1] If
you meet the criteria, you are able to vote.

Nearly 800 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the
international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered
in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to
breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant
images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems,
diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human
portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two
rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many
images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall
will then make it to the final.  In the final round, when a limited number
of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become
the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Galleries

Wikimedia Commons is interested in hearing your opinions on our featured
images of 2010.  The deadline for first round voting is the 4th of May at
23:59 (UTC).

Thanks,
Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
