Hackathon - Wikipedia

And i repost the same post so lemmy user can see us. Sorry for the duplicate. 😅

Hi everybody,

I hope you are well. I’m quite busy with my course, so i’m not there a lot. Sorry and thank you for animating this community and being kind. You are awesome. :)

During this week-end, i planned to advance french translation and the Piefed wiki. We decided a meeting with french translators so we can share our ideas and decide together about the most accurate translation.

And i thought why not inviting you. Yes, you ☺️

I purpose you a hackathon this week-end. Yeah, this idea just popped up in my mind. 😁

There is plenty things to do : documentation, translation…and not only PieFed (lemmy, mbin, nodeBB, loops, iceshrimp…)

We can coordinate our effort to make the fediverse a quite good place. If you want to do a hackathon for another software, i suggest to create a separate post and share its link in comment (we also need a way to centralize this event for better coordination). ☺️

Here is a draft of this idea. Nothing new but i want to setup a set of rules so we don’t waste our energy and time. :)

  • hackathon start the week-end, at the beggining of each month (depend of your need)
  • before the hackathon, we create a to-do list : documentation, code development, mobile app, translation, ads, UI, updating wiki, squashing small bug…everything missing.
  • in comment section, we create small team (code, wiki, communication…) and tell users : when ? How many people ? Topics ? And then, you self-organize together.

What do you think ? Would you be interested by those workshops ? Maybe you need more time and already have plan for this week ? We can repport it to March. Got another idea ? :3

    Good idea. I can help with German translations, some CSS and I have a joinfediverse.wiki account as well. I don’t think PieFed is relevant enough for Wikipedia or is it?

      I’m back ! :)

      So do you have a schedule for german translation and joinfediverse wiki ? What can we improve ? Maybe we can try wikipedia ?

        No real schedule. The translation is almost at 100% anyway, but I keep finding strings that were translated automatically which aren’t very good. So it’s just random checking of strings.

        Will have a look at joinfediverse.wiki later. But I can’t commit to a fixed schedule. If I see something that needs improvement, I’ll try to improve it or gather feedback here or in Zulip chat.

          Same for the french translation but we want to improve its quality and agree on strings we didn’t validate because we need a third party to check it up :)

          For joinfediverse.wiki, i think i have an account there. You can reach me if you need some help. :)
