Hi all,
TLDR; Want to learn new technical skills to help improve your wiki? Sign up
for workshops on scripts and bot development, organized by the small wiki
toolkits initiative: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops> [1].
Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to build technical capacity in
smaller language wikis by developing toolkits, conducting workshops, and
providing technical support <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits> [2]. The first set of
workshops for 2022 will teach individuals how to automate work in their
wiki community by developing, maintaining, and hosting bots. These
trainings build upon the lessons learned from two regional initiatives in
2021: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Past_events> [3].
To sign up for a workshop, add your signature under a specific workshop
section on this page <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops> [4]. The
first workshop is scheduled for February 25th, 16:00 UTC. The organizing
team will share more details on mailing lists and on your talk page closer
to the date of the workshop.
The SWT Organizing Team is also exploring issuing digital certificates and
badges to attendees of these workshops. More information on that will be
available in the coming weeks.
We look forward to your participation!
Cheers,
Srishti
(On behalf of the SWT Workshops Organization team)
