[Wikitech-l] Re: TDF is looking for community representatives
(Sorry to "hijack" the thread, I am not personally involved in TDF but since I was the original "messenger", I'm interested in learning more about Daniel's POV. The original email linked to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_decision_making/Community_representation . While I'm well aware that info a click away is not optimal, I'm definitely more against walls of text that may be hard to understand for non-native readers. That page was marked for translation instead, and among other things, it offered exactly the process you are describing, and the second email asked specifically for recommendations. We had /also/ asked for recs to a few dozens colleagues, and none of the people pinged gave their availability. Interested to hear what could have been done differently.)

[Wikitech-l] Maps Modernization plan - FYI
Greetings, This is a follow up from our last email some months ago (and a crosspost). You may already have seen today's announcement from Legal about the upcoming changes to the Maps Terms of Use. Here is an extra heads-up that Wikimedia Maps are transitioning towards a more modern architecture. The first phase of this transition will be replacing Tilerator [0] with Tegola [1] as our vector tile server. This is a change in the Maps infrastructure, so there should be little to no impact to the end users’ experience. It is important that we are able to provide software that is sustainable to support, before we can guarantee a reliable user experience. Wikimedia Maps aim to provide Wikimedia users a consistent experience contributing to and learning about geoinformation. To achieve this goal, we will empower those engineers maintaining the Wikimedia Maps infrastructure to do so with ease and low effort. If you want to learn more, please head to mediawiki.org [2], where you will also find a Questions & Answers section. Thanks, and take care, Erica Litrenta (on behalf of the Product Infrastructure team) [0] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maps/Tilerator [1] https://tegola.io/ [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Maps/2021_modernization_plan -- -- Erica Litrenta (she/her) Manager, Community Relations Specialists Wikimedia Foundation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Elitre_(WMF)> ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] Public API for Wikimedia map tiles to be discontinued in 45 days [crosspost from Maps-l] [final warning]
Hi everyone, Just a reminder that deprecation of the Maps API for third party referrers happens next week. If you are using that API on a non-Wikimedia hosted website for a Wikimedia affiliate or an established wikiproject, please comment as soon as possible on Phabricator [1] linking to your domain and providing an example of your usage of maps. We appreciate your patience as this is our first step towards making maps a reliable and consistent experience for contributors and readers, and we'll share more about our plans in the next weeks.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Public API for Wikimedia map tiles to be discontinued in 45 days
> > > [crosspost from Maps-l] > Hi everyone, here are a few clarifications about our prior announcement re: Maps API deprecation for 3rd parties [1]. As stated, our plan is *not* going to have any impact on any Wikimedia-hosted wikis. This means that nothing will change for maps, in any namespace, on Wikipedia and any sister projects. Tools that are hosted on Wikimedia services are also not going to be affected (i.e., Kartographer). This said, we are aware that there may be map usage beyond such venues where deprecation would still affect our community members and their activities - for instance, the Wiki Loves Monuments website, and the Wikimedia Poland chapter website both rely on our maps API. Hence, over the 45 day deprecation period which ends in mid October: *if you represent an affiliated free knowledge group that does regular work with our maps (any Wikimedia affiliates, or established wikiprojects), or if you are closely partnering with other entities who do, we welcome you to reach out, either here on this announcement thread or on the dedicated Phabricator ticket [2].* We will work with you to understand your needs, and what alternatives exist. For further questions, I encourage you to contact me off-list to reduce noise. Thank you.

[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Public API for Wikimedia map tiles to be discontinued in 45 days
[crosspost from Maps-l] Today the Wikimedia Foundation is announcing the deprecation of the public API for Wikimedia map tiles. Around mid October the Foundation will end support for the Wikimedia Maps Service API [1]. This change affects people using Wikimedia maps on their own website or app. Maps on the Wikimedia sites, in Wikimedia-hosted tools and gadgets, and on maps.wikimedia.org won't be affected. This decision was made based on recent outage incidents, primarily due to spikes in third party usage, along with an analysis showing that more than a third of maps provided are to non-Wikimedia services (including many to for-profit organizations). After the most recent incident [2], the service was limited so that only cached maps tiles would be available. While this protected the servers, it made the service unpredictable and highlighted the unsustainability of our tile service. So, we have made the decision to discontinue the maps APIs for non-Wikimedia users. This change will allow our teams working on Maps to focus on the sustainability of the maps used within Wikimedia projects. You can follow the implementation of this change on Phabricator [3]. Best, Erica Litrenta [1] https://maps.wikimedia.org/osm-intl/ [2] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20200204-maps [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261424 -- Erica Litrenta Manager, Community Relations Specialists https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Elitre_(WMF) ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hello. (Apologies for cross-posting, and that you are likely not reading this message in your native language: translations of the full announcement may be available on Meta [1], and will be posted to all the wikis in the next few days. Please consider helping with translations in the meantime. Thanks!) The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has approved a new sister project, temporarily titled "Abstract Wikipedia" [2]. Its goal is to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages.

[Wikitech-l] Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon
(Apologies for crossposting.) Hello! We're pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the *VisualEditor Translathon*. It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor [0]. In order to participate, you need to *sign up on the Translathon page* [1]. The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store [2]. Translations made between *July 15th and July 19th* (CDT time zone [3]) qualify [4]. If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year [5], you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in *Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT)* at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some [6]. Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. *It is recommended to create the account ASAP*, so that it can be confirmed in time. You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there. You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page [1]. Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

[Wikitech-l] Please join the "Making the Wiki Ed dashboard work for outreach projects" hackathon session at Wikimania
TL;DR, Whether you are an amateur or an expert coder, or if you are a current or interested user of the WikiEduDashboard or of the Education Extension,* please join us at a hackathon session at Wikimania on Wednesday, 15 July in Workplace 2 - Don Genaro at 1pm. [0]* A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the Wikimedia Foundation developed Extension:EducationProgram. It did what we needed it to do at the time, which was to provide a tool that helps organize classes that want to edit Wikipedia articles for course credit. Since its release, the extension has been deployed to 18 Wikimedia projects: it's on 4 sister projects in 16 languages. Recently, the Wiki Education Foundation [1], led by project manager Sage Ross - User:Sage (Wiki Ed), User:Ragesoss - developed a Ruby on Rails app called the WikiEduDashboard [2], which they will use beginning this fall instead of the EducationProgram extension, for the university courses that they support on English Wikipedia. We believe it is possible to use their freely-licensed code to create a clone of this dashboard that can be used for non-Wiki Ed education program courses and other group editing activities on English Wikipedia and, ultimately, on other Wikimedia projects and in other languages. We are asking for community support for this project since this is outside the scope of WMF's engineering team for this year. We see the need for a global dashboard tool and would love to have your help building it! We're planning some exciting improvements to the Wiki Education Dashboard, see Phabricator [3] for the full list. * Full i18n, including right-to-left support. * Generalize the UI to work for any wiki project and not only university courses. * Integration with the Gather extension, to render lists of articles being written and reviewed. * Integration with Campaigns, to track group membership and statistics. * Improvements to the API to simplify some actions taken from the Dashboard. * Potentially using Wikidata as the backend for storing information about courses and editing projects. We look forward to working together to build this powerful tool which will support more education and outreach programs in the movement!

[Wikitech-l] VisualEditor monthly newsletter is now multilingual
(Apologies for cross-posting.) Hi all, I'm glad to announce that the *monthly VisualEditor newsletter* was recently marked for translation for the first time: we had received several related community requests. The issue for September and October [0] was delivered in 10 languages to the editors who signed up in the past months (please join them!

Future time windows for translations will be announced through the Translators mailing list [3], or personally to volunteers who want to help with this task; please contact me off-list to indicate your availability. *The November issue is now open for translations and will be delivered in a few days [4]. * Special thanks to our awesome community of translators, to Guillaume for assisting me in setting up the whole mechanism, to Whatamidoing (WMF) for providing the contents and to James F. for reviewing them.
