维基爱古迹应用程序为维基计划带来了移动贡献方式的开端

在准备9月份的"维基爱古迹"的过程中,世界各地争相向维基共享资源贡献自由许可的文化遗址的照片,移动团队发布了新的维基爱古迹应用的Android版。用户可以发现附近的历史遗迹,或者在列表中搜索他们。用户可以在应用内完成拍照,然后将照片直接上传到维基共享资源。这是第一次正式支持移动贡献机制。采用移动设备的其他贡献方式也在考虑之中。

语言支持工具在"Project Milkshake"上发布

The Internationalisation/Localisation (i18n/l10n) team reported progress on its Project Milkshake, an effort to release its existing internationalisation-related JavaScript components as standard jQuery libraries. They include an i18n framework that supports parameter replacements and grammar-, plural-, and gender-dependent translations, a library to support WebFonts (fonts that do not need to be installed on the reader's computer), and a library to provide text input methods in the browser.

请求评论法律费用援助系统

阿拉伯语维基百科领航员计划新编辑者贡献增长

On the Arabic Wikipedia, a new "contribution portal" was created in June, as a pilot project within the Editor Growth and Contribution Program. It offers simple visual tutorials for six basic editing tasks, such as fixing a typo or creating a new article. It has already increased the ratio of new users who start contributing, according to an analysis of the first phase (in English and Arabic).

加泰隆图书管理员接受维基百科培训

In a two-month project encompassing the entire network of public libraries of Catalonia, 150 librarians were trained in informing their library users about Wikipedia. It is a pioneering collaboration between Amical Viquipèdia and the Catalan Ministry of Culture. The ministry has also reprinted 1,500 copies of a "Welcome to Wikipedia" guide for distribution through the network of libraries.

德语年会

WikiCon 2012, the annual conference of German-speaking Wikimedians, took place over three days in the town of Dornbirn near the tripoint of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. It brought together over 200 participants, from German-language Wikimedia projects, other free knowledge endeavours and the interested public. The event was organized by volunteers and financially supported by the Wikimedia chapters of the three countries, and the Wikimedia Foundation. A "Declaration of Dornbirn WikiCon 2012" was passed by acclamation at the conference. Among other topics, the document calls for guidelines on paid editing, more participation by women, and a more relaxed deletion policy for media with unknown copyright status.
