Hi all, The August edition of the Fellowship News is now available on meta-wiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fellowship_News
Project highlights in this issue include: Dispute Resolution Project — Steven Zhang monitored a trial implementing changes to the dispute resolution noticeboard on English Wikipedia this month. An update on his findings is in the Wikipedia Signpost this week. Gender Gap Project — Sarah Stierch has started developing the first phase of a new WikiWomen's Collaborative project, which seeks to engage and inspire more women to edit using social media and clear calls to action. Help Pages Redesign Project — Peter Coombe has created three new introductory tutorials for the English Wikipedia, covering referencing, uploading images, and navigating Wikipedia. He also released the write-up from this summer's in-person usability tests. Small Wiki Editor Engagement Project — Tanvir Rahman has been building new step-by-step help pages on Bangla Wikipedia. The help pages will be connected into a portal page and the new help page system will be piloted in September. Teahouse Project — We've been working on improvements for hosts, including a simplified new host creation process. HostBot was approved for an extended trial to send out automated invites to new editors, contributing to a 50% increase in guest participation. If you're interested in learning more about any of these projects, please come read about what Wikimedia fellows have been up to this month!
