What's making me happy this week: * French Wikipedia administrator and OTRS volunteer 0x010C <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:0x010C> created a calendar in Lua that works on MediaWiki. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik i/Template:Events_calendar and https://lists.wikimedia.org/pi permail/wikimedia-l/2018-March/089886.html.
* Wikimedia Russia's multilingual writing contest regarding cities and regions in the 2018 FIFA world cup looks interesting. I like the concept of associating Wikipedia writing campaigns with popular current events.

See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pi permail/wikitech-l/2018-March/089629.html. From the WMF Blog: * "Confound it!—Supporting languages with multiple writing systems": https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/12/supporting-languages- multiple-writing-systems/ * "James Heilman on expanding the reach of Wikipedia’s medical information": https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/13/offline-access-medical-information/ * "How we’re using machine learning to visually enrich Wikidata": https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/14/machine-learning-visually-enriching-wikidata/ What's making you happy this week?
