@egonw @nemobis True. But I also think the IA's ethos of "preservation before availability" is being played out at the moment. My impression is that they're more likely than many sites to not mind having reduced services for weeks (if it's seen as necessary), because ultimately what they're concerned with is the long term. As someone who uploads items there, that makes me happy.

Sam Wilson (samwilson@wikis.world)'s status on Friday, 27-Sep-2024 01:47:18 JST Sam Wilson @wjmaggos @evan I don't really understand: each object in a collection gets its own fediverse account, e.g. @1897196735 — but how's that better than having a stable URL for something? I guess following a single collection item means you'd get updates about edits to its metadata or something? (Although an example in the article is that an aircraft will post about its flights.) It doesn't seem to make it easy to follow the conversation around an item or the whole collection (like a hashtag does).

Sam Wilson (samwilson@wikis.world)'s status on Sunday, 17-Mar-2024 01:05:53 JST Sam Wilson It's the end of the second day of the #WikimediaWishathon and I'm giving up for the night.
Has been great fun so far working with people on all sorts of projects. There's something nice about having a whole weekend set aside to just be as slow as is needed to go through issues with people, with no sense of having to hurry.

Sam Wilson (samwilson@wikis.world)'s status on Friday, 16-Feb-2024 10:28:26 JST Sam Wilson I can't believe SimplePie #RSS (PHP library) is still going strong — since 2006! It appears to still be a reasonable thing to use to parse news feeds.

Sam Wilson (samwilson@wikis.world)'s status on Monday, 05-Feb-2024 23:16:25 JST Sam Wilson @tchambers Probably not this time around, as we're focusing on proposals that have already come through the Wishlist and been voted on. You can see last year's list here (and there are similar ones for previous years): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Results
There will be more info sometime after the Wishathon about how the proposal system will work in 2024.

Sam Wilson (samwilson@wikis.world)'s status on Sunday, 17-Dec-2023 13:53:11 JST Sam Wilson New version of #Wikisource Export is released now.
It's not massive, but does change how the HTML is loaded before transformation into EPUB — so please do shout if you notice anything wrong! 😃
