프로그램 기획자를 위한 새로운 보충자료: 자주 사용하는 프로그램이 보관된 패턴 라이브러리(pattern library)와 장시간 편집에 관한 평가 보고서
2012년 2월 ~ 2013년 10월의 사건(event) 46건의 자료가 새로운 report about edit-a-thons에 포함돼 있습니다. 이 속에는 세계 곳곳의 위키미디어 프로그램 지도자들이 위키미디어 재단의 '프로그램 평가 및 디자인' 팀의 승인을 받고 실행한 프로그램 중에서 가장 흔히 실행된 것에 관한 일곱 개의 보고서가 연속적으로 소개돼 있습니다. 이것은 특정 프로그램의 성과와 그 비용이 비교된 최초의 분석입니다. 소액의 예산으로 장시간 진행된 프로그램이 대규모 예산이 집행된 프로그램만큼이나 생산적일 수 있다는 내용이 보고서의 수많은 분석자료 가운데 들어 있습니다.
In the new learning pattern library on Meta, Wikimedians can share what they learn about organizing activities like edit-a-thons, GLAM collaborations, gender gap outreach, or Wiki Loves Monuments. Each pattern includes a description of a common problem, and instructions for solving it.
"베타 기능" 설정에서 예정된 소프트웨어 변경 사항을 시험
A new "Beta Features" section has been added to the user preferences menu, allowing logged-in editors to test upcoming software changes and give feedback to the developers, before these features become available for everyone.
Open Source Language Summit in Pune, India
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
OAuth extension makes it easier to use third-party editing tools
All Wikimedia wikis now support OAuth, an open standard that allows users to authorize third-party software tools to carry out actions on the wiki on their behalf, without handing over their user password. Among the first tools that use this new feature is "CropTool", which allows users to crop images on Wikimedia Commons.

Indian university releases encyclopedia under a free license
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.
Diversity Conference
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.
