Nechceš se stát členem WMCZ?--Juandev (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't. Mostly because of its privacy policy and the way it acts towards sister projects. --Reaperman (talk) 16:36, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well, If you dont like the way how it acts towards the sister projects, the best way is to become the member and one of the voicese to change, what you dont like on it.--Juandev (talk) 20:01, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

It is hardly possible to change it if the chapter doesn't want to listen to outside voices and people who belitte sister projects and the work done there are even members of board. --Reaperman (talk) 20:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think the chapter listen, but it doesnt have a personel to run projects for such support. You have to options. To criticized it or to jump into the work. I know the second will work, the first not.--Juandev (talk) 21:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
By the way, what part of WMCZ's privacy policy makes you difficulty to become a part of it?--Juandev (talk) 21:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
I'm not talking about any projects here at all. I am talking about interactions, communication etc.
The option to work, that's it. I WORK at several projects – I add new content, enhance the old, look for ways the projects will be more useful for end users... What I CAN do by myself I already DO myself. I don't need to enter organization that will asure me I have a great idea, I should do it and that they are cheering on me (but unfortunately there is nobody who can help me with things I can't do) to actually do something. That's terrible mistake to think, that people from sister projects are just sitting on their thumbs doing nothing only waiting for redemptive chapter.
What do you think? Yes I mean especially that part, that would force me to reveal my personal information to indefinite and practically unlimited number of people who I don't know, who I have never met, who have no reason to know my pesonal information and that all in the situation there is no actually efective safety measure against abuse of that information. --Reaperman (talk) 23:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Právě dokončuji letošní druhé číslo bulletinu Wikimedium. Marně přemýšlím, proč veřejné výzvy k tomu, aby se jednotlivé projekty v bulletinu prezentovaly, nevyvolaly žádný ohlas, zvlášť, když se pobočce opakovaně - jak to je vidět i zde - vyčítá nezájem o jiné projekty. Já tedy za svou praxi s pořádáním dřívějších wikikonferencí a za vydávání Wikimedia mám přesně opačnou zkušenost - nezájem jiných projektů, kde jsem vždy musel (až na několik čestných výjimek) o nějakou součinnost úpěnlivě prosit. Mám v plánu se na to otevřeně zeptat na projektech, byť se obávám, že se nedočkám žádné odpovědi. Ale když už jsem narazil na tuto diskusi, která mi tuto palčivou otázku připomněla, tak prosím o odpověď.
Prosím o diskusi v češtině, myslím, že je zbytečné trápit se angličtinou. Pokud se Ti z jakéhokoli mně neznámého důvodu nezdá diskuse v češtině na Metě vhodná, lze ji samozřejmě přesunout na nějaký jiný projekt. Děkuji. --Okino (talk) 00:42, 23 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Nemůžu hovořit za nikoho jiného, ale jako docela pravděpodobné mi přijde, že těch pár lidí, co se na sesterských projektech vyskytuje, se domnívá, že by to nedokázali dobře napsat, nebo neví o čem konkrétně psát, a tak se do toho necpou. No a když se necpou, tak ani nemají důvod odpovídat na obecný diskusní příspěvek, očekávajíce, že odpoví někdo kvalifikovanější. Samozřejmě, možností je víc a já nikomu do hlavy nevidím. Sám jsem se s tím setkal, že jsem sesterské projekty oslovil bez jakékoli odezvy k věci. Zkrátka je znát rozdíl v počtu přispěvatelů Wikipedie a sesterských projektů. --Reaperman (talk) 23:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Tak mě napadá, proč si sám do Wikimedia nepřispěl?--Juandev (talk) 23:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Stejná odpověď. --Reaperman (talk) 23:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wiktionary software

edit

You were saying on Lila's user talk (unless I'm confused), that folks on Wiktionary have been getting discouraged because the Foundation won't provide the dictionary-specific software they've been asking for for years.

What sort of software has Wiktionary been asking for? I'm just wondering, because at en.wn we've basically given up on the Foundation doing anything for us, and so about three years ago I started to develop for myself some software I felt would make a major difference to us, and, I hoped, to other sister proejcts. Perhaps there's no overlap between what I've been developing and what Wiktionary has been asking for; but I wondered. --Pi zero (talk) 22:51, 31 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I wouldn't say discouraged, at least not in my case, I didn't come in the contact with the Foundation much. In the past there were much more disappointments from Wikipedians and local chapter, but I've been on Wiktionary for almost eight years already so I don't expect anything anymore.
I don't know anything about software you develop. The basic issue with Wiktionary is lot of duplication, if you for example have articles about five synonyms and then find the sixth that still wasn't there, you are sure to have lot of editing. It makes maintenance rather difficult. Another issue would be different languages in one article which makes everything messy. I could continue, for other projects as well, while actually doing something one will always find things that could be improved. There were requests and discussions about how to deal with those issues as far as I remember. We tried to deal with some of them locally but we always hit the MediaWiki boundaries.
Are you sure, that your software will be able to break throught the barrier empowered by new dogma of unacceptality of different settings for different projects (as I understand recent discussions)? --Reaperman (talk) 20:31, 1 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Even without the new stuff I'm writing, forcing English Wikinews to configure itself the same way as other projects would, if taken to enough of an extreme, literally shut us down. Until recently I would have thought the Foundation wouldn't do that because they make a point of respecting local communities, but it now appears they don't care even about massive consensus by huge projects. I'm thinking very seriously about what to do about that situation, but meanwhile I'm also pushing forward on the software front. Rather like living life from day to day during the Cold War, with the threat of nuclear annihilation but meanwhile somebody has to do the ordinary everyday jobs to keep society running. At en.wn our software, which we rely very heavily upon, is peculiar to our project, and was written about five years ago by Bawolff. He's certainly a heck of a lot more connected to the Foundation development community than I am, and at least so far I haven't heard any suggestion from him of impending apocalypse.
In designing my software, I went to a lot of trouble to assume as little as possible about the wiki software, on the assumption that only the most basic functions of the wiki software could be relied on to remain stable, while the fancier or less central stuff might be subject to arbitrary change at any time. However, my software can't possibly be proof against everything, and lately I've started wondering how long it'll take the Foundation to come up with a way to break it. After three years of intensive development already poured into it, though — quite a large pile of money donated, if one considers what it would have cost to hire me to do it — I'm choosing to push forward.
My long term hope for my software has been that once I got my software deployed, and we demonstrated what can be done with it, other projects would want it, ultimately even Wikiepdias would want it, and it would become sufficiently widespread that the Foundation would have to take it into account, either remaining compatible with it or providing their own version of it. I suppose I needn't say that I no longer have any faith that the Foundation will behave sanely; but, who knows, if I can't influence the Foundation, perhaps I can still influence the movement.
Anyway, my software: The idea of my tools is that an ordinary wiki user can put interactive elements on a wiki page by means of some simple templates, with names like {{dialog/textarea}}, to create a multi-line text input box; and {{dialog/button}}, to create a button that does something using the data on the page. The software mediates all this, so that data from these input boxes can be passed, through a button, to another page, where it can be substituted into template parameters, used to initialize input fields on the new page, and also used to inform other actions — notably, modifying the contents of a page. (The central software mediates passing the data from page to page; it's made to allow additional actions to be added, so that different things can be done based on the data at the receiving page.) My hope is that using these tools, it will be possible for the wiki community, using wiki markup, to construct wizards for performing a wide variety of tasks. --Pi zero (talk) 00:11, 2 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'll be honest, there's so much controversy going on right now, I haven't been keeping track of it all. I would be surprised if the foundation pushed for total unity of all configuration settings. Our projects serve different users and do different things. Having them all be identically configured seems like a silly idea. However I do think the foundation is going to try to probably push for more unification where it doesn't unduly interfere with the workings of a specific project. There are technical reasons for wanting a more homogenous farm. Less differences tends to mean there are less things breaking in different ways, less weird edge cases, etc. But to be honest I suspect the reasoning for wanting more homogeneity is political. When the wikis use similar configuration, its easier to have a central "group" vision for all of them, and I feel like the WMF likes the idea of having a "vision". As for technical problems wiktionary faces - I would encourage people to make on wiki lists of the things they are trying to do, and how the software is preventing them from doing them. Well it may sometimes seem like the foundation doesn't care what non-wikipedia projects want, half the battle is making people aware of what the problems are. Even if wiktionary is not a priority for the foundation, not every developer works for WMF, and many WMF employees were former volunteers, and sometimes develop software on the side for Wikimedia sites that are not related to whatever they're currently doing for the foundation. Anyways, people never fix a problem they don't know exist, so your best bet is to make sure that people know what the problems are. (Point of note: I currently work for the foundation as a part time contractor. This is all my personal opinion as an ordinary user. I don't really have any special knowledge, so any speculation that I make is probably about as good as the next guy's). Bawolff (talk) 05:27, 3 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
As I said in my first comment on Lila's talk page, Wikidata could make current Wiktionaries obsolete if their content is implemented in the right way. But we even don't know whether it will ever be implemented. Btw it is actually not hard to find pages here on meta created nine ten years ago stating about a need of saving and accessing structured information for Wiktionary in a lot similar way Wikidata do now. Lets see whether Wiktionary will finally get what its users called for for years at least as a byproduct and if it will be actually usable. --Reaperman (talk) 20:44, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
