[x-posted announcement]

Hello,

The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is scheduled for Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017 at 13:00 UTC. In this session we would like to initiate a conversation about compact language links[1] - a feature that was recently introduced on many wikis to improve cross wiki navigation using the interlanguage lists. We would also like to present about some of the changes that we have observed[2] after compact links were enabled on these wikis.

This session is going to be an online discussion over Google Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the limitation of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of participation slots are available. Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to join in the Hangout. The IRC channel will be open for interactions during the session.

Our last online round-table session was held in December 2016. You can watch the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXgMZ7myEA4

Please read below for the event details, including local time, youtube session links and do let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you

Runa
