[[Image:Wikimedia chapters existing.svg|thumb|World map showing countries that have local chapters in blue.]]<br />
The Wikimedia projects have an international scope, and the Wikimedia movement has already made a significant impact throughout the world. To continue this success on an organizational level, Wikimedia is building an international network of associated organizations. There are currently {{CHAPTER-COUNT}} Wikimedia chapters.<br />
<br />
Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia and Free Culture. They also provide the volunteer community and potential partners and supporters with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the [[m:Chapters committee|Chapters committee]].<br />
<br />
''Please note that the local chapters are independent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation or vice versa.''<br />

[[Image:Wikimedia chapters existing.svg|thumb|World map showing countries that have local chapters in blue.]]<br />
The Wikimedia projects have an international scope, and the Wikimedia movement has already made a significant impact throughout the world. To continue this success on an organizational level, Wikimedia is building an international network of associated organizations. There are currently Wikimedia chapters in {{CHAPTER-COUNT}} countries.<br />
<br />
Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia and Free Culture. They also provide the volunteer community and potential partners and supporters with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the [[m:Chapters committee|Chapters committee]].<br />
<br />
''Please note that the local chapters are independent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation and vice versa.''<br />

[[Image:Wikimedia chapters existing.svg|thumb|World map showing countries that have local chapters in blue.]]<br />
The Wikimedia projects have an international scope, and their outreach has already made a significant impact throughout the world. To continue this success on an organizational level, Wikimedia is building an international network of associated organizations.<br />
<br />
Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia, Free Content and Wiki culture. They also provide the community and potential partners with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the [[m:Chapters committee|Chapters committee]].<br />
<br />
''Please note that the local chapters are independent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation and vice versa.''<br />

<br />
== Wikipedia ==<br />
[[Image:Wikipedia.png|right|Wikipedia logo]]<br />
Wikipedia is a project to build free encyclopedias in all languages of the world. Virtually anyone with Internet access is free to contribute, by contributing neutral, cited information.<br />
<br />
The project started in January 2001 in one language, English, and currently has over 8,200,000 articles in over 200 languages. The largest Wikipedia is in the English language, with over 2,000,000 articles; it's followed by the German (645,000+) and French editions (563,000+). Twelve other languages have at least 100,000 articles, over 100 other languages have at least 1,000 articles. New language editions are proposed and launched every month. <br />
<br />
Wikipedia is also known for its community. In 2004 Wikipedia won the Webby Award for "Community" and the Prix Ars Electronica's Golden Nica for "Digital Communities". Since the start of the project, over 100,000 registered users have made at least ten edits.<ref>It is unknown how many users have registered on multiple projects at once.</ref> The total number of accounts created on the English Wikipedia alone exceeds 3.4 million. However, most edits on that language edition come from around one thousand of the most dedicated users.<br />
<br />
Some Wikipedias release or plan to release regular snapshots. The German Wikipedia is released twice a year as a DVD, in collaboration with Directmedia Publishing, and the Polish Wikipedia has released one DVD of content.<br />

<br />
Wiktionary is a project to create free content dictionaries and thesauri in every language. The project started in December 2002, and is now available in over 100 languages with over 1,500,000 entries in all. The largest language edition is English, followed by French, Vietnamese and Russian, all four of them having more than 100,000 entries each. 40 other languages have at least 1,000 entries.<br />
<br />
Recently, Wiktionary has collaborated with the Wikimedia Commons. Many sound files have been uploaded to Commons, to provide Wiktionary and other projects with examples of pronounciation. <br />

[[Image:Wikisource-newberg-de.png|129px|right|Wikisource logo]]<br />
Wikisource is a multilingual project, started in November 2003, to archive a collection of texts that could be distributed as free and open content. It is not only a superior format for storing classics, laws, and other free works as hypertext, but it also serves as base for translating these texts. At the beginning, source texts in all languages (except Hebrew) were all on one wiki. However, Wikisource now has several editions in many individual languages. <br />
<br />
As of July 2007, Wikisource offers 260,000 source texts in total. The largest is the English Wikisource, with over 65,000 works. <br />

== 2007 announcements ==<br />
<br />
===Mid 2007===<br />
<br />
In june 2007, the board agreed to hire Sue Gardner. During summer 2007, the board finally met with the opportunity to act again in its role as board and let executive matters in the hands of staff. Mid 2007 also saw a change in the board membership, with reelection of Erik and Kat, and replacement of Oscar by Frieda.<br><br />
A very short board meeting (2 hours) was held during the annual conference, [[Wikimania]], in Taipei, early august 2007.<br><br />
As planned in spring, a [http://advisory.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meeting_August_2007 board retreat] was also held immediately prior to Wikimania. It was held by board and advisory board.<br><br />
Plans are to have one board meeting in fall (in Florida) and a chapter meeting before the end of the year, in Frankfurt.<br />

<br />
===Early 2007===<br />
Early 2007, the board regularly meet on Wednesday evening (Europe time), on irc. A face to face meeting is organized once every 6-8 weeks. As such, a meeting is organized in Rotterdam (Friday, January 12 - Sunday, January 14), then in Florida (mid-march 2007), then in Amsterdam (early June 2007). A board retreat is also planned in the few days prior to [[Wikimania]] in Taipei (august 07).<br><br />
The first part of 2007 is characterised by numerous meetings, largely due to the absence of an executive director between January 2007 and June 2007, which causes the board to pick up many responsibilities at the executive level.<br />

<br />
Early 2006, the board made the decisions to record its decisions through resolutions. Whilst minutes are now very unfrequently published (they are kept on the board private wiki), nearly [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolutions all resolutions are published] on the Foundation website. Only a few resolutions are kept private, but their existence is nevertheless always mentionned.</div>Alison Wheelerhttps://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Our_projects&diff=21651Our projects2007-07-24T12:25:19Z<p>Alison Wheeler: clarify limit</p>

;Please note that whilst other sites may also use [[MediaWiki]] software and therefore look similar to our projects, or may have a name that includes 'Wiki-' or '-pedia', or a similar domain name, the only projects which are part of the Wikimedia Foundation are those listed below.<br />
<br />
== Wikipedia ==<br />
[[Image:Wikipedia.png|right|Wikipedia logo]]<br />
Wikipedia is a project to build free encyclopedias in all languages of the world. Virtually anyone with Internet access is free to contribute, by contributing neutral, cited information.<br />
<br />
The project started in January 2001 in one language, English, and currently has over 5,000,000 articles in over 200 languages. The largest Wikipedia is in the English language, with over 1,600,000 articles; it's followed by the German (500,000+) and French editions (500,000+). Nine other languages have at least 100,000 articles, over 100 other languages have at least 1,000 articles. New language editions are proposed and launched every month. <br />
<br />
Wikipedia is also known for its community. In 2004 Wikipedia won the Webby Award for "Community" and the Prix Ars Electronica's Golden Nica for "Digital Communities". Since the start of the project, over 100,000 registered users have made at least ten edits.<ref>It is unknown how many users have registered on multiple projects at once.</ref> The total number of accounts created on the English Wikipedia alone exceeds 3.4 million. However, most edits on that language edition come from around one thousand of the most dedicated users.<br />
<br />
Some Wikipedias release or plan to release regular snapshots. The German Wikipedia is released twice a year as a DVD, in collaboration with Directmedia Publishing, and the Polish Wikipedia has released one DVD of content.<br />

[[Image:Wikisource-newberg-de.png|129px|right|Wikisource logo]]<br />
Wikisource is a multilingual project, started in November 2003, to archive a collection of texts that could be distributed as free and open content. It is not only a superior format for storing classics, laws, and other free works as hypertext, but it also serves as base for translating these texts. At the beginning, source texts in all languages (except Hebrew) were all on one wiki. However, Wikisource now has several editions in many individual languages. <br />
<br />
As of July 2007, Wikisource offers 260,000 source texts in total. The largest is the English Wikisource, with over 65,000 works. <br />

As of January 2007, over 30,000 people subscribed to the English Wikinews through RSS feeds.<br />
<br />
Contributors from around the world write news articles collaboratively. Reports are ranged from original reports to summaries of news from external sources. All of them are required to be written from a neutral point of view. <br />

<br />
The Wikimedia projects have an international scope, and their outreach has already made a significant impact throughout the world. To continue this success on an organizational level, Wikimedia is building an international network of associated organizations.<br />
<br />
Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia, Free Content and Wiki culture. They also provide the community and potential partners with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.<br />
<br />
If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the [[m:Chapters committee|Chapters committee]].<br />
<br />
''Please note that the local chapters are self-dependent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation and vice versa.''<br />

=== Jimmy Wales ===<br />
[[Image:Jimbo_Wales_in_France.jpg|thumb|200px|Jimmy Wales in Paris.]] <br />
[[w:en:Jimmy Wales|Jimmy Wales]] is an [[:en:Internet|Internet]] [[:en:entrepreneur|entrepreneur]] and [[:en:wiki|wiki]] enthusiast, and founder of the Wikipedia project. <br />
<br />
Jimmy was born in [[:en:Huntsville, Alabama|Huntsville]], [[:en:Alabama|Alabama]] in 1966, and is a graduate of [[:en:Auburn University|Auburn University]] and the [[:en:University of Alabama|University of Alabama]]. He worked as Research Director at Chicago Options Associates, a futures and options trading firm then located in [[:en:Chicago|Chicago]]. In the mid-[[:en:1990s|1990s]] he started [[:en:Bomis|Bomis]], a search portal focusing on aspects of [[:en:pop culture|pop culture]], one of the first users of the freely licensed data of the [[:en:Open Directory Project|Open Directory Project]].<br />
<br />
In 1999, Jimmy had the concept of a freely distributable encyclopedia and founded [[:en:Nupedia|Nupedia]], by hiring philosopher Larry Sanger as editor-in-chief and assigning 2 programmers to write software for it. Nupedia failed, perhaps due to being a top-down cathedral model, as opposed to Wikipedia, which is the ultimate bazaar. After 2 years of working with the Nupedia concept, that team opened Wikipedia to help channel content into Nupedia; Wikipedia became an instant success, but not in the envisioned way, and Nupedia was shut down. In 2003, Jimmy set up the Wikimedia Foundation, a Tampa-based non-profit organization, to support Wikipedia and its sister projects.<br />
<br />
In 2004, Jimmy founded [[:en:Wikia|Wikia]]. He was appointed a fellow of Harvard Law School's [[:en:Berkman Center for Internet & Society|Berkman Center for Internet and Society]] in mid-2005, and in October of 2005 joined the Board of Directors of [[w:Socialtext|Socialtext]], a provider of wiki technology to businesses.

<div>While this is all very nice and useful, I question whether this is official Wikimedia Foundation policy. In practice, Foundation envelopes do not follow these guidelines vis a vis the logo. Were they voted on by the Board? If so, are they in the minutes of a board meeting? [[User:Danny|Danny]] 04:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
:At WMUK we read "guideline" as "preference" rather than "mandatory" as, as with any visual identity, there may be times when the actual usage needs to vary because of the particular usage demanded of it. Whilst these guidelines may exist and I'd agree they should normally be followed, I am not aware that these guidelines are mandated by the Foundation Board. --[[User:Alison Wheeler|AlisonW]] 11:00, 2 September 2006 (UTC)</div>Alison Wheelerhttps://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Contact_us&diff=14562Contact us2006-07-29T09:18:34Z<p>Alison Wheeler: /* Local chapters */ realised UK was missing!

<br />
== Summary ==<br />
<br />
If you only read the Wikimedia project websites, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites in general.<br />
<br />
If you contribute to the Wikimedia projects, you are '''publishing''' every word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes articles, user pages and talk pages. Some limited exceptions are described below.<br />
<br />
==Publishing on the wiki and public data ==<br />
<br />
Simply visiting the web site does not expose your identity publicly (but see [[#Private logging|private logging]] below).<br />
<br />
When you edit any page in the wiki, '''you are publishing a document'''. This is a public act, and you are identified publicly with that edit as its author.<br />
<br />
=== Identification of an author ===<br />
<br />
When you publish a page in the wiki, you may be logged in or not.<br />
<br />
If you are logged in, you will be identified by your user name. This may be your real name if you so choose, or you may choose to publish under a pseudonym, whatever user name you selected when you created your account.<br />
<br />
If you have not logged in, you will be identified by your network IP address. This is a series of four numbers which identifies the Internet address from which you are contacting the wiki. Depending on your connection, this number may be traceable only to a large Internet service provider, or specifically to your school, place of business, or home. It may be possible that the origin of this IP address could be used in conjunction with any interests you express implicitly or explicitly by editing articles to identify you even by private individuals. <br />
<br />
It may be either difficult or easy for a motivated individual to connect your network IP address with your real-life identity. Therefore if you are very concerned about privacy, you may wish to log in and publish under a pseudonym. <br />
<br />
When using a pseudonym, your IP address will not be available to the public except in cases of abuse, including vandalism of a wiki page by you or by another user with the same IP address. In all cases, your IP address will be stored on the wiki servers and can be seen by Wikimedia's server administrators and by users who have been granted "[[meta:CheckUser|CheckUser]]" access. Your IP address, and its connection to any usernames that share it may be released under certain circumstances (see below).<br />
<br />
If you use a company mail server from home or telecommute and use a DSL or cable Internet connection, it is likely to be very easy for your employer to identify your IP address and find all of your IP based Wikimedia project contributions. Using a user name is a better way of preserving your privacy in this situation. However, remember to log out or disconnect yourself after each session using a pseudonym on a shared computer, to avoid allowing others to use your identity.<br />
<br />
=== Cookies ===<br />
<br />
The wiki will set a temporary session cookie (PHPSESSID) whenever you visit the site. If you do not intend to ever log in, you may deny this cookie, but you cannot log in without it. It will be deleted when you close your browser session.<br />
<br />
More cookies may be set when you log in, to avoid typing in your user name (or optionally password) on your next visit. These last up to 30 days. You may clear these cookies after use if you are using a public machine and don't wish to expose your username to future users of the machine. (If so, clear the browser cache as well.)<br />
<br />
=== Passwords ===<br />
<br />
Many aspects of the Wikimedia projects' community interactions depend on the reputation and respect that is built up through a history of valued contributions. User passwords are the only guarantee of the integrity of a user's edit history. All users are encouraged to select strong passwords and to never share them. No one shall knowingly expose the password of another user to public release either directly or indirectly.<br />
<br />
== Private logging ==<br />
<br />
Every time you visit a web page, you send a lot of information to the web server. Most web servers routinely maintain access logs with a portion of this information, which can be used to get an overall picture of what pages are popular, what other sites link to this one, and what web browsers people are using. It is not the intention of the Wikimedia projects to use this information to keep track of legitimate users.<br />
<br />
These logs are used to produce the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Statistics site statistics pages]; the raw log data is not made public, and is normally discarded after about two weeks.<br />
<br />
Here's a sample of what's logged for one page view:<br />
<br />
64.164.82.142 - - [21/Oct/2003:02:03:19 +0000]<br />
"GET /wiki/draft_privacy_policy HTTP/1.1" 200 18084<br />
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects:Village_pump"<br />
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85.5"<br />
<br />
Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site. IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the database are frequently used to correlate usernames and network addresses of edits in investigating abuse of the wiki, including the suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruption of the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Policy on release of data derived from page logs ===<br />
<br />
It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser feature, may be released by the system administrators or users with CheckUser access, in the following situations:<br />
<br />
# In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement<br />
# With permission of the affected user<br />
# To the chair of Wikimedia Foundation, his legal counsel, or his designee, when necessary for investigation of abuse complaints.<br />
# Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues.<br />
# Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers<br />
# Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.<!-- this line borrowed from Google--><br />
<br />
Wikimedia policy does not permit public distribution of such information under any circumstances, except as described above.<br />
<br />
== Sharing information with third parties ==<br />
<br />
Except where otherwise specified, all text added to Wikimedia projects is available for reuse under the terms of the GFDL, except for Wikinews, where the text is available under a Creative Commons License.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia will not sell or share private information, such as email addresses, with third parties, unless you agree to release this information, or it is required by law to release the information.<br />
<br />
==Security of information==<br />
<br />
The Wikimedia Foundation makes no guarantee against unauthorized access to any information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access to the servers. A partial list of those people can be found in the [[m:developers|developers]] list.<br />
<br />
== E-mail, mailing lists and IRC==<br />
<br />
=== E-mail ===<br />
<br />
You may provide your e-mail address in your Preferences and enable other logged-in users to send email to you through the wiki. Your address will not be revealed to them unless you respond, or possibly if the email bounces. The email address may be used by the Wikimedia Foundation to communicate with users on a wider scale.<br />
<br />
If you do not provide an email address, you will not be able to reset your password if you forget it. However, you may contact one of the Wikimedia server administrators to enter a new mail address in your preferences.<br />
<br />
You can remove your email address from your preferences at any time to prevent it being used.<br />
<br />
=== Mailing lists===<br />
<br />
If you subscribe to one of the project [http://mail.wikimedia.org/ mailing lists], your address will be exposed to any other subscriber. The list archives of most of Wikimedia's mailing lists are public, and your address may find itself quoted in messages. The list archives are also archived by Gmane and other services. Mails are usually not deleted or modified, but it may be done in extreme cases.<br />
<br />
=== Information email addresses ===<br />
<br />
Some email addresses (see below) may forward mail to a team of volunteers trusted by the Foundation to use a ticket system such as OTRS to view them and answer them. Mail sent to the system is not publicly visible, but is visible to this group of Wikimedia volunteers. By sending a mail to one of these addresses, your address may become public within this group. The ticket system team may discuss the contents of your mail with other contributors in order to best answer your query.<br />
<br />
Addresses that direct to the ticket system system include:<br />
*info-de AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-en AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-es AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-fr AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-it AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-nl AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
*info-pl AT wikipedia DOT org<br />
<br />
Mail to board AT wikimedia DOT org or to board members' private addresses may also be forwarded to the OTRS team.<br />
<br />
=== IRC ===<br />
<br />
[[m:IRC channels|IRC channels]] are not officially part of Wikimedia proper. By participating in an IRC channel, your IP address may be exposed to other participants. Different channels have different policies on whether logs may be published. <br />
<br />
== User data ==<br />
Data on users, such as the times at which they edited and the number of edits they have made are publicly available via "user contributions" lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users.<br />
<br />
=== Removal of user accounts ===<br />
<br />
Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It may be possible for a username to be changed (depending on the policies of your local wiki and on the number of edits you have). The Wikimedia Foundation does not guarantee that a name will be changed on request. <br />
<br />
Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant on the deletion policies of the project that contains the information.<br />
<br />
==Deletion of content==<br />
<br />
Removing text from Wikimedia projects does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki, meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers, but there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action.</div>Alison Wheelerhttps://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Alison_Wheeler&diff=14108User:Alison Wheeler2006-06-22T17:20:10Z<p>Alison Wheeler: grrr</p>
