Hey guys,
So I wanted to do two things, firstly a brief keeping you
guys in the loop on the state of the international fundraiser
and what to expect over the coming months.
As many of you may know from the metric's meetings and emails
to the wikimedia-l list last november, the plan is to shift from
the big push annual fundraiser to a more subtle, lower impact
year round fundraiser. This is going to be happening over the
coming months and I am sure that more details about how exactly
this will happen will appear in time.
With regards to the international portion of the 12/13
fundraiser, we intend to restart testing in the top ten
languages in the coming weeks, with the remainder of languages
following later on. This means that you will start seeing
translation requests coming in somewhat regularly over the
coming months. Most of work that was done will still be used so
nothing has gone to waste but there is a greatly expanded thank
you portion to the fundraiser featuring numerous editors from
all backgrounds that will require alot of work.
We are going to aim to try and keep a torrent of
notifications from being sent out so some will be sent out in
batches via a bot as well as through this mailing list to at
least reduce some of the annoyance.
If you have any questions feel free to ask here or email me.
Italian is going to be the first of the big languages to
undergo a big testing phase.
Thank you :)
