Kateb Maktub project is an initiative organized by the Emirates Literature Foundation in collaboration with Wikimedians of UAE User group in hopes to enrich Wikipedia’s content about Arab authors and books in both English and Arabic.

The information availability plays a crucial role in creating a relationship between readers and authors.

Brand Pilot WikiDZ 20/02/2022

edit

We asked WMF's brand department to take part in the brand pilot project to improve our logo and overall visual image.

In contact with the WMF Branding group to launch the project,

we had several meetings with the branding manager,

we put out the call for tenders to 3 advertising agencies based in Algeria, I was in contact with Nacim and Adel to talk about the logo in general.

We'd like the fenec logo to remain unchanged, to evolve and be closer to the movement, to get away from the black and white color and be more contemporary, we're not going to change the logo to give it a facelift.

WikiDZ = KIDZ = WIKI = DZ = DESERT

  • K for knowledge
  • I for iNFORMATION
  • Z FROM A TO Z
  • Our logo design approach starts from the main wikidz element: the Fennec. (The fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) is a small crepuscular fox native to the deserts of North Africa, ranging from Western Sahara and Mauritania to the Sinai Peninsula.[1] Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat and listen for underground prey. )
  • The Latin typography is that of the wkimedia global logo: Montserrat ExtraBold
  • Arabic typography known as “Khat Maghribi” identifies the style
  • authentic script used in the Maghreb region: arabswell_1
  • A copyright-free font (see the link: https://www.fontface.me/page/license)

Project With Nacim about Algerian Dictionary

edit

As part of the projects we've seen in Algerian dialect, with the Algerian community and the whole of Wikimedia, we'd like to program a dictionary to be put online on the Internet, where users can record words from the Algerian language with all its characteristics and its translation into world languages, so that people visiting the site can look up words and find their meaning and Translations are for me.

This program will again be in contact with the Wikimedia dictionary, so that the words can be generated, so that pages containing all the information about the word can be created, and at the expense of the structure of the pages belonging to Wikimedia.

suitable for the group

This project is compatible with the Wikimedia project, from the point of view of the wikis I've seen in support of : Wikipedia and the Algerian WikiDictionary.

The dictionary project, look at it with the priorities of the Algerian community, and if we have to do it, we'll look at it with our community.

The dictionary will bring visitors to the Internet, and this thing will bring income to the association.

What's needed? The dictionary we want to create has to be programmed at the expense of the system that is used in the intranets where it is portable.

Collaboration Nouveau projet avec Jannatou El Arif 05 Mars 2022

edit

We have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Janna El-Arif Foundation, the foundation that supported us in organizing the WikiArabia conference, to develop a mobile application, Maqamat al-Salam, which will open the door to innovative technology at the service of Algerian cultural heritage.

Algeria's cultural heritage is an asset not only for Algerians, but above all it is a global, human, universal and cosmic heritage, which is being preserved by all available means in space and time.

In this context, the "Maqamat al-Salam" project aims to contribute, along with other efforts, to the preservation and introduction of this heritage. It focuses in particular on historical and cultural monuments that are an integral part of the architecture of cities and the identity and history of their inhabitants, and highlights the role of heritage sites as places of diversity that have contributed and still contribute to promoting the values of peaceful coexistence.


The "Maqamat al-Salam" project aims to offer a unique local and global experience in presenting free knowledge about cultural heritage and interacting with it in an innovative and artistic way, in tune with its time and future. It embodies the idea of placing digital technology at the service of tangible and intangible heritage.
