Dit zijn de Hoogtepunten uit de Wikimedia Foundationrapportage en de Wikimedia technische rapportage voor oktober 2012, aangevuld met een selectie van andere belangrijke gebeurtenissen binnen de Wikimediabeweging.

Hoogtepunten Wikimedia Foundation

De veranderingen in de lay-out van Wikipedia voor mobiele telefoons behelzen onder meer de navigatie en een verbetering in de typografie.

Verbeteringen in ontwerp voor Wikipedia voor mobiele telefoons

The mobile gateway to Wikipedia was updated with several features that had earlier been tested on the mobile beta site. The new navigation system aims to make mobile features and settings easier to discover. In the coming months, the mobile team will work on adding possibilities to contribute on mobile devices. In the previous month, the Wiki Loves Monuments app had already introduced a mobile photo upload function, as the first such possibility. For readers, the new design offers fonts that make the content easier to read.

First in-person meeting of the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)

The nine members of the new volunteer-run Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) met for the first time in October, preparing their recommendations about funding requests by 12 organizations (11 Wikimedia chapters and the Foundation) from a pool of more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations. In this new model, the funding requests have to be submitted in public, enabling a community review period that lasted until October 22.

The staff which supports the FDC scored each request according to a criteria list:

  • schattingen omtrent de mogelijke gevolgen
  • the organization's ability to execute the planned activities,
  • their expected financial efficiency,
  • the quality of the proposed success measures
  • the potential benefit for the Wikimedia movement

The Signpost (the English Wikipedia's weekly community newspaper) has published an overview of these scores and of the requested sums.

The Board of Trustees will announce its decision about the FDC's recommendations in December.

Wikipedia Zero now available to 230 million people after Saudi Arabia launch; has already grown Wikipedia readership in Africa and Asia

Wikipedia Zero, the program offering mobile Internet users access to Wikipedia without data charges, added Saudi Telecom Company (STC) to the list of partners. With STC's 25 million subscribers in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait, altogether 230 million mobile users in 31 countries have now access to the program, half a year after its worldwide start.

A preliminary evaluation of its effect on readership is promising: Wikipedia pageviews from Orange Niger customers grew by 77% and those from Orange Kenya customers grew by 88% in a four-month period including the launch in these countries. In Malaysia, unique visitors to Wikipedia from local operator Digi jumped by 42% after it joined Wikipedia Zero.

Wikidata.org gaat online

Wikidata behaalde een mijlpaal op 30 oktober nadat de wiki online ging op wikidata.org, het eerste nieuwe project van de Wikimedia Foundation sinds 2006. Wikidata zal een gecentraliseerde kennisbank zijn van data van Wikimedia projecten. De software wordt ontwikkeld door het Duiste lokale chapter. Het project bestaat uit 3 fasen. In de eerste fase, welke als is begonnen, zullen taalverwijzingen van dezelfde onderwerpen worden opgeslagen. De Hongaarse Wikipedia zal het eerste project zijn die van Wikidata's opgeslagen siteverwijzingen gebruik gaat maken.
