This is our fourth e-mail newsletter. It intends to keep you updated on Betawiki's developments, and is also aimed at reminding you to visit http://translatewiki.net at least once every month to update the language(s) you have been contributing to in the past, so that the localisations will stay up to date. Noteworthy events ----------------- * We have two weeks left until the end of 2008. What could be better than ending a year with with a fully translated message group? Participate in our End of Year Translation Rally and contribute now! http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate * In the past months we have seen a few very nice open source products added to Betawiki: Mantis, a bug tracker[1], and Mwlib, an open source python based MediaWiki rendering engine[2]. See the stats later in this newsletter. * Feature wise a special page LanguageStats[3] has been added to show real- time translation statistics for all messages groups and Special:Translations shows all translations for a particular message. * More detailed news is available on-wiki[4]. Status overview --------------- * MediaWiki core messages: 136 core messages were added since the last update bringing the total to to 2,160. There are now 164 (+34) optional messages[5]. MediaWiki 1.13.3 was released recently; everyone is encouraged to update; it also includes the latest relevant localisations. * MediaWiki extensions: Currently Betawiki supports 274 MediaWiki extensions, which is an increase of 30 since the last update. In total the supported MediaWiki extensions have 5,974 (+1,313) normal messages, and 139 (+13) optional messages[6]. * Mantis: Localisation of Mantis is still growing; no effort has been made yet to get previous 'off-line' translators to Betawiki. This will be done in the coming month. Current message volume is 1,176 normal messages and 6 optional messages[7]. * FreeCol: Localisation of FreeCol is continuing as normal, support for more languages is progressing steadily. FreeCol 0.8.0 alpha 3 is available for download. Please update your translations for the release version. Current message volume is 1,714 (+64) regular messages and 455 (+95) optional messages[8]. Contributions are especially welcome to the languages that are near the 25% inclusion criteria or already below it. * Vocabulary trainer: this product makes it possible to use OmegaWiki word collections as input for vocabulary training. It currently contains 63 (-1) messages[9]. Statistics ---------- We run daily statistics on all supported products.
