Hello all, over the last few days, we've been releasing the videos mentioned in a previous announcement through various social media. All four videos are now published, and you can find a blog post with links here:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/09/24/four-videos-of-wikipedias-volunteers/ I'm personally very excited to have these videos: I think they'll be a great outreach tool to help us grow the very special community of volunteers who contribute to our projects. We can use them at conferences, training events, in online tutorials, etc. I hope they'll also help us break out of the perception of Wikipedia as simply a useful product, and contribute to it being understood as a community of shared passion and purpose quite unlike any other online community of comparable scale. We think these videos do speak for themselves beyond any specific use that we'll have for them. If you agree, we appreciate your help in sharing them through various channels available to you :-) Subtitle transcriptions and translations are underway and will be made available soon. All best, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Foundation-L, the public mailing list about the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects.
