You are invited to the Localisation team development demo on Tuesday 8
August 2012 at 15:00 UTC (other time zones: 08:00 PDT, 17:00 CEST,
20:30 IST). This meeting will take 40 minutes at most. In this meeting
the Localisation team will present its deliverables from sprint 21[1].
As there were no demos for the previous two sprints because of
Wikimania and holidays, work from those sprints will also be covered.
After about 20 minutes of presentation, the remainder of the meeting
is for discussion.
We hope you can attend, and please invite any other colleagues or
friends you think are interested!
This meeting will be held using WebEx. Please ensure that you log in a
few minutes before the meeting starts, so that you have time to
install any required plug-ins or software. Connection details and a
quick link to add this meeting to your calendar can be found below the
signature.

Hi All,
Please join me in welcoming Srikanth Lakshmanan as outreach
coordinator/QA engineer (contractor) in WMF’s Internationalization
(i18n) / Localization (L10n) engineering team. As the team’s technical
liaison, Srikanth will be actively reaching out and working with our
language communities to get feedback on new i18n/L10n features being
planned or rolled out to Wikimedia sites.
Srikanth hails from Chennai, India. He has been a Wikipedian since
2006 and identifies himself as a wikignome (User:Logicwiki). Srikanth
has provided language support for Tamil Wiki projects and loves to
file bugs (and occasionally fix them) when he sees languages are not
properly supported. Srikanth has recently revived his blogging habit
at logic10.tumblr.com. His other interests include cycling, travelling
in buses, playing table tennis (aka ping pong). Srikanth is excited to
be able to contribute his tiny bit in making a sum of all human
knowledge more accessible and helping build a more multilingual web!
Check out some of his work on Tamil scripts and consonants at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Script#Consonants_of_Modern_Tamil
Srikanth can be reached on email at slakshmanan(a)wikimedia.org or as
@srikanthlogic on our irc channels including #mediawiki,
#wikimedia-dev and #mediawiki-i18n.
Welcome Srikanth! It is great to have you on the i18n engineering team!

Do we have somewhere a message like this?
"Sorry, we don't have «page» in $LANG language, yet.
You can read it on
-XXZ
-XXY
You can [help translating it]"
Also, what's the best way to add new messages?
Create a new MediaWiki extension, even if it is going to have little to
no real code?
Regards
