Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites.
We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard. The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the, and posted. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well.

Hello, Sorry for writing in English. Feel free to translate the content of this message below. After several years discussing about it, and one year of development and discussion with the communities, the development team of Wikimedia Germany has now released the first version of. Since the start of Wikidata in 2012, the multilingual knowledge base was mainly focused on concepts: Q-items are related to a thing or an idea, not to the word describing it. Starting now, Wikidata stores a new type of data: words, phrases and sentences, in many languages, described in many languages. This information will be stored in new types of entities, called Lexemes, Forms and Senses. The goal of lexicographical data on Wikidata is to provide a structured and machine-readable way to describe words and phrases in multiple languages, stored in a same place, reusable under CC-0.
In the near future, this data will be available for Wiktionaries and other projects to reuse, as much as you want to. For now, we’re at the first steps of this project: the new data structure has been released on Wikidata, and we’re looking for people to try it, and give us feedback on what is working or not. Participating to this project is the opportunity for you to have a voice in it, to make sure that your needs and requests are taken in account very early in the process, and to start populating Wikidata with words in your language! Here’s how you can try lexicographical data on Wikidata:. First of all, if you’re not familiar with the data model, I encourage you to have a look at. If you’re not familiar with Wikidata at all, I suggest as a start point.
You can also (search features will be improved in the future). When you feel ready to create a word, go on. If some properties that you need are missing, you can (if you’re not sure how to do it, just let a message on the talk page and someone will help you). The main discussion page is. Here, you can ask for help, suggest ways to organize the data, but also leave feedback: if you encounter any bug or issue, let us know. We’re looking especially to know what are the most important features for you to be worked on next.
In any case, feel free to contact me if you have a question or problem, I’ll be very happy to help. 14:20 (CEST) Update on page issues on mobile web. Agere lan drivers for mac.
