[[Wikimedia Highlights|Highlights]] from the '''[[Wikimedia Foundation Report, February 2013|Wikimedia Foundation Report]]''' and the '''[[mw:Wikimedia engineering report/2013/February|Wikimedia engineering report]]''' for February 2013, with a selection of other important '''events from the Wikimedia movement'''

==Najważniejsze wydarzenia Fundacji Wikimedia==

===Legal victory for Wikivoyage and free knowledge===

The Wikimedia Foundation's legal team [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/15/a-victory-for-wikivoyage-and-free-knowledge/ announced a settlement] in the legal proceedings between the Foundation and Internet Brands, relating to issues stemming from the creation of Wikivoyage, our community’s newest free knowledge project.

Last year, Internet Brands (owners of a for-profit wiki-based travel project) sued two Wikimedians involved in supporting the travel wiki project. The Foundation supported the legal defense of the volunteers and the court ultimately dismissed Internet Brands’ lawsuit.

The Foundation also went on the offensive and filed its own separate lawsuit against Internet Brands seeking a declaration from the court that Internet Brands had no proper basis to block the travel wiki project. That suit was resolved in an out of court settlement on February 14, 2013. In that settlement, Internet Brands released the Foundation and Wikivoyage e.V. (the German non-profit organization who worked hard to make the travel project a success) from all claims related in any manner to the creation and operation of the travel wiki project. In return, the Foundation agreed to dismiss its suit.

=== Mobile watchlist available===

Facilitating contributions to Wikipedia on mobile devices is an important goal for the Foundation's mobile team. As one of the first results of these efforts, mobile Wikipedia users are now able to [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/13/follow-your-favorite-wikipedia-pages-on-the-mobile-web/ log into their account, and to view and modify their watchlist]. On the mobile version, the star symbol for the watchlist is shown to all users, to encourage them to log in or create an account. Experienced contributors can use the watchlist as usual: To track changes to the selected pages and fix problems if necessary. But to make the watchlist more newbie-friendly, the mobile version also offers a full view of all selected pages, which can function as a reading list.

===Language engineering team attends open source conferences in India===

The Wikimedia Foundation's Language Engineering team participated in two conferences in Pune, India: [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/27/language-engineering-team-participates-in-gnunify-2013/ GNUnify 2013], a major open source conference, and the [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/02/20/report-from-the-spring-2013-open-source-language-summit/ Second Open Source Language Summit], co-organized by the Foundation with Red Hat. The team aims to make Wikipedia a website that can be used by anyone on the planet in their own language. India's many different languages make it a natural location for the team to see the effect of their work. At the Language Summit, the engineers from the Wikimedia Foundation collaborated with attendees from Red Hat, KDE, Google and other groups. The work areas included the following:

*'''Input methods''' (enabling typing in a certain language), bringing the number of supported languages to 140.

*'''Translation tools''', including a demonstration of the new design and features for the translation editor in [[mw:Extension:Translate|MediaWiki's Translate extension]]

*The '''"language coverage matrix"''', a detailed overview of language support in different projects and platforms (with 285 languages currently supported by Wikimedia, and more than 100 in the Fedora Linux distribution)
