Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia engineering August 2012 report
Hi, On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 3:05 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) nemow...@gmail.com wrote: Tilman Bayer, 05/09/2012 02:52: Rupert raises an interesting point. How many people prefer such mailing list announcements of new reports to include a plaintext version of the report itself? Usually I'm very more likely to read something if it's directly in the email, however long; a link means oh, more work, must be something long, of unknown length (I don't see it), requires one more click, and finally the click just sends the reading to the queue together with the other dozens tabs open in the browser. That said, a good compromise is, I found, to just include the HTML from the wiki page. HTML emails are horrible (and I usually fail at sending them) but converting wikitext to a readable email plaintext is horrible too. I'm happy to do that, but do Wikimedia mailing lists support HTML e-mails? -- Guillaume Paumier ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

We receive them all the time, I suppose so (although sometimes pipermail will move the HTML to an attachment).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Knowledge across borders – Our new International Affairs Unit
This is wonderful. A few thoughts: On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Nicole Ebber nicole.eb...@wikimedia.de wrote: I have published a blog post where I briefly introduce our plans and motives, ask for your support and invite you to get involved. [1] (Full-text below, but for the fancy version with links and a nice picture, please visit our blog :)) I am very curious about your expectations, comments and wishes. I would like to see some sort of international variation on the WikiMedium theme -- at least more encouragement of us all to translate such publications, if not the more regular reports. I've always found those an essential part of keeping up with WM-DE and it also usually improves my month. I think people from all communities and language backgrounds should have a similar chance to get a deep understanding of what the chapter is doing and planning. Also: some extra effort to generate followup (from outside the chapter) on some of the chapter's existing publications and research would be welcome. * Kompass 2020 and its background research (assuming it is revisited in some fashion over time) * Any data analysis or research studies commissioned by the chapter * Roadmaps for the 2 or 3 largest chapter projects Regards, SJ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
