 Yes: it is that unlike the other former board members, those two were on
 the board during the year the report covers.

That's what I initially thought, but I was sure the board and
reporting terms were staggered differently. It does indeed look like
there was an overlap of a month or two; my mistake for not actually
checking

Dear Friends of Free Knowledge,

today is my last day at the office as the former Executive Director of
Wikimedia Deutschland.

For 2012 days, I had the great opportunity and the tremendous pleasure to
work for one of the greatest causes I can think of: Free Knowledge for
everybody. What Wikimedia does is nothing short of changing the world, one
edit at a time.

I reflect a little about this in this blog post:
http://blog.pavelrichter.de/2012-days-later/

Thank you all for the best time I had in my (professional) life. Of course,
while I leave my job, I will not leave the Wikimedia movement. Looking
forward to this!

Cheers,

Pavel

Hoi,
This is a celebration of Wikipedia.. It is as if all the other projects do
not exist. If that is the Wikimedia Foundation, I feel very much left out.
It is as if everything else the Wikimedia Foundation stands for does not
matter.
Thanks,

 Dear everyone!

 I’m happy to share with you the Annual Report from the Wikimedia Foundation
 for 2014 -- Knowledge is a foundation https://annual.wikimedia.org.[1]
 We
 published last Wednesday, but I'm just catching up enough to send the
 email. (Pardon me.)

 This year, we are telling the story of Wikimedia in the context of free
 knowledge, and releasing it as web version (wiki, too!) so that we can
 share that story with even more people.

 Knowledge is a foundation. It is a foundation for human potential, a
 foundation for freedom, a foundation for opportunity. Our mutual project,
 Wikipedia, is part of the global support structure for free knowledge.

 Most importantly, people are the foundation of Wikipedia. We are inspired
 by thousands of contributors who support the projects, and are excited to
 share a little bit about Dr. Netha Hussain, Jacek Halicki, Dumisani
 Ndubane, Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz, Ihor Kostenko, Dorothy Howard, Ram Prasad
 Joshi, and Jake Orlowitz.

 Thank you for the myriad of contributions you make, from coding to writing,
 editing to programs, and uploads to donations.

 We've written a blog post about the process we went through this year, and
 how we settled on the concept of 'knowledge as a foundation.'[2]

 You can participate in the wiki version of the report here, and soon help
 with translations [3]

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Annual Report from the Wikimedia Foundation

2015-01-29 Thread John Mark Vandenberg
https://annual.wikimedia.org/2014/#editcounterinfo

says

The edit counter is a live count of all edits across all databases in
Wikimedia’s servers.

How does it work? Every five minutes or so, the system queries the
databases in the Wikimedia cluster for the sum total of all edits on
the Wikimedia projects, and updates this number in a cache. This
version queries that cached number of edits using a custom script. It
picks a number smaller than the total cached number, displays that,
and starts counting upward.

Every few minutes it checks for a new, updated total count. If the
live counter has gotten ahead of itself, and the latest cached number
is smaller than the script's current count, it jumps back to that;
otherwise it keeps counting. The number usually runs about 3 to 5
minutes behind the actual total number of edits on all the Wikimedia
projects.

Edit Counter homepage


Sounds great, however, the homepage link at the bottom leads to


http://tools.wmflabs.org/wmcounter/


which returns HTTP ERROR 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable , and says



No webservice

The URI you have requested, /wmcounter/, is not currently serviced.

If you have reached this page from somewhere else...

This URI is part of the wmcounter tool, maintained by Emijrp.

That tool might not have a web interface, or it may currently be disabled.

If you're pretty sure this shouldn't be an error, you may wish to
notify the tool's maintainers (above) about the error and how you
ended up here.

If you maintain this tool

You have not enabled a web service for your tool, or it has stopped
working because of a fatal error. You may wish to check your logs or
common causes for errors in the help documentation.

Dear Pavel ( everyone)

Its hard to describe the incredible positive impact that you have had on WMDE 
and the Wikimedia Movement as a whole. While every affiliates contributes 
differently  it is fair to say that under your leadership  WMDE has contributed 
a lot to our movement by facilitating communication between the different 
affiliates (including all the work on the Wikimedia Conferences and the 
chapters dialogue project). And of course Wikidata is an incredible project 
which I cannot praise enough :)

On a more individual note: I think the way you remained on board in order to 
facilitate a good transition within WMDE says a lot about your incredible 
character and dedication to our goals!

Very happy to hear that its not a goodbye, and hope to see your impact in the 
next challenge you choose to take on!

Thank you!
