نکات برجسته ی بنیاد ویکیمدیا
پشتيبانيِ ماديِ نوين براي تشكيلدهندگان برنامه: گزارش ارزيابي دربارهي ويرايش، و كتابخانهي الگو
يك گزارش پيرامون ويرايش نوين، دربرگيرندهي دادههايي از 46 رويداد در زمان بين فوريهي 2012 و اكتبر 2013 ميباشد؛ كه مجموعه گزارشهاي هفتگانه را پيرامون انواع معموليترين برنامههاي اجرا شده از سوي هدايتگران برنامه ويكيمديا در سرتاسر دنيا، نوشتهي تيم طراحي و ارزيابي برنامهي بنيادين ويكيمديا، آغاز ميكند. اين نخستين بار است كه چنين كاوشي، برآيندهاي برنامهاي ويژه را براي هزينههاي آن ميسنجد. بر اساسِ يافتههاي فراوان اين گزارش، ويرايش با بودجهاي كوچك مي تواند همان محصولي را فراهم آورد كه رويدادها با بودجهاي كلان فراهم ميآورند.
در آموزش كتابخانهي الگو نوين، در فراويكي، اعضاء ويكيمديا ميتوانند آنچه را كه ديگران پيرامون فعاليتهاي سازماندهيكننده همچون ويرايش، همكاريهاي GLAM، دسترسي باز نوعي، يا يادبودهايي كه ويكي علاقه دارد، آموزش ميدهند، به اشتراك بگذارند. هر الگو شامل توصيفِ يك مشكلِ مشترك، و راهنماييهايي براي رفع آن، مي شود.
گزينهي "ويژگيهاي بتا" به كاربر امكان آزمودن تغييراتِ نرمافزاريِ آينده را ميدهد
بخش نوينِ "ويژگيهاي بتا" به فهرست برتريهاي كاربر افزوده گشته است كه اجازه ميدهد ويراستارانِ ورود يافته تغييراتِ نرمافزاريِ آينده را آزموده و در اختيار گسترشدهندگانِ فيس بوك قرار دهند؛ پيش از آنكه چنين ويژگي اي براي همه قابل دسترس شود.
گشايش نقطهي اوج زبان مبدا در پان، هندوستان
Together with Red Hat, the Wikimedia Foundation's language engineering team organized the fall 2013 Open Source Language Summit in Pune, India. It was also attended by members of the VisualEditor and Mobile teams. Session topics included:
- improving the support for fonts (in particular in Indic languages)
- input methods for entering characters that are not available on a user's keyboard
- the Language Coverage Matrix Dashboard, which displays how a language is supported on Wikimedia projects
- a prototype for a user interface for translating Wikipedia articles and other content
تعميم [پروتكلِ] OAuth كاربرد ابزارهاي ويرايشيِ سهقسمتي را آسانتر مينمايد
تمام ويكيهاي ويكيمديا اكنون از [پروتكل] OAuth حمايت مي كنند، يك استاندارد آزاد كه به كاربران اجازه ميدهد ابزارهاي برنامهي سهقمستي را در راستاي انجام فعاليتها در ويكي از طرف آنها، بدون دسترسي به گذرواژهي ايشان، بنويسند.
نخستين ابزارهايي كه اين ويژگيِ نوين را به كار ميبرند "ابزار برش" است، كه براي كاربران امكان برش نگارهها را در پستهاي ويكيمديا فراهم ميسازد.

The "Konkani Vishwakosh" is a four-volume encyclopedia written in Konkani, a language spoken primarily by people living in Goa and in the neighboring states on the western coast of India.
At the suggestion of Access to Knowledge (A2K, a program supporting Wikipedia in India, run at the Centre for Internet & Society and funded by a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation), the publisher of the "Konkani Vishwakosh", Goa University, released it under a Creative Commons License (CC-BY-SA 3.0). This is part of a three-year effort to build the Konkani Wikipedia. The 3632 pages of the Vishwakosh are being digitized by 37 volunteer Wikimedians.

On November 9–10, over 80 Wikimedians attended the first Wikimedia Diversity Conference, hosted by the German Wikimedia chapter in Berlin. Many of the presentations addressed Wikipedia's gender gap (the fact that the large majority of contributors are male). But other aspects of diversity were a topic as well, e.g. geographic diversity (the under-representation of editors from the Global South) or LGBT issues.
