Punti salienti di Wikimedia Foundation
Editare dai cellulari
In questo mese il team di sviluppo web mobile ha rilasciato nuovi strumenti per i collaboratori su tutti i siti mobile Wikimedia, includendo le già esistenti funzioni di upload e watchlist, così come un pulsante di modifica. (Maggiori notizie sul canale beta e come puoi raggiungerlo.)
Wikipedia Zero parte in India
Il primo lancio di Wikipedia Zero in India da a 60 milioni di utilizzatori di telefoni cellulari accesso gratuito a Wikipedia dai loro dispositivi mobili. La campagna promozionale attorno a questo lancio, condotta dal nostro partner Aircel, ha ricevuto ampia attenzione dalla stampa ed è stata accompagnata da eventi di Twitter e di blogging. I clienti Aircel godono ora di accesso gratuito a Wikipedia in inglese così come alle 19 Wikipedia in lingue Hindi.
Lancio di VisualEditor beta
In Luglio abbiamo abilitato la nuova interfaccia di scrittura in diverse Wikipedia come interfaccia di default, prima per scrittori registrati e in seguito anche per utenti anonimi. Questo ha portato un gran numero di feedback ed il team ha risposto con diverse centinaia di miglioramenti per riparare problemi urgenti. Inoltre, il team ha distribuito miglioramenti nell'interfaccia utente, soprattutto nella finestra di inserimento delle fonti. Attualmente, gli utenti stanno producendo all'incirca 800 modifiche all'ora utilizzando VisualEditor sui siti Wikimedia.
There are continuing discussions with different language communities about the positioning of the VisualEditor beta in the user interface and appropriate notices indicating its beta status. The Wikimedia Foundation is using the beta period to collect and analyze bug reports, feature enhancements, and data, to observe actual user behavior, and to improve the editing experience continuously. Our eventual objective is for VisualEditor to be the default editor for all Wikipedia users, capable of letting them edit the majority of content without needing to use the wikitext editor.
Please help translate the user interface of VisualEditor.

She serves as the chair of Greenpeace International, and previously worked in leading positions for the Ford Foundation and ActionAid.
Buenos Aires edit-a-thon in former military prison
On July 20, a "Memorial Edit-a-thon" was held in Buenos Aires, at ESMA, a former "black site" (illegal military prison) during the Argentine military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, and today a human-rights museum. Besides experienced and new Wikipedia editors, it was also attended by survivors of the black site. The Argentine Wikimedia chapter interviewed one of the attendees, a photographer who dedicated most of her career to political activism and owns an archive of 45,000 photographs that she intends to upload to Wikimedia Commons after digitization.
