This month's subject: Translatewiki.net staff thank you and season greetings

Dear translatewiki.net user,

2009 has been another successful year for translatewiki.net and the localisation of projects that participate in it. As translatewiki.net staff we would like to thank you very much for that, and hope on good health for you and your loved ones, and your continued contributions for 2010.

In January 2009 Siebrand formulated localisation goals for MediaWiki for 2009. They were ambitious, and it looks like three of the four goals that were set are going to be met with your help! There is still one more week left before the year ends, and because of that we would like to give you an incentive to leave your localisation in as well a state as possible.

1,000 Euro bounty
Together with Stichting Open Progress and Wikimedia Nederland, the Dutch Wikimedia Chapter we are able to make available 1000 Euro, to be divided between all translators that will make 500 or more new translations for MediaWiki or its extensions before the end of the year. In the past week there have been 3 users that made more than 500 translations, so that is quite an incentive we think! If you are eligible to claim your share of the bounty, please do that at the designated page where you can also find the fine print.

We wish you happy and productive holidays and hope to see you revisit translatewiki.net often!

Translatewiki.net staff

Siebrand Mazeland
