https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit,https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits

• Amir: Mark for translation?
  • Andre: Yes, hopefully soon once we've gathered more feedback. Maybe two more months.
  • Srishti: Maybe one more month - if all is "fine" and no TODOs left, maybe even sooner
  • Farhad: Even marking as translatable for Work in Progress people start giving feedback. Please communicate that we want translators to start translating.
• RexxS: Under "Help us with this initiative", building partnerships who have expertise and can give help and advice how to best produce materials
  • Srishti: To be considered, indeed
  • Pau: +1 on different materials, videos etc
  • Léa: Is this about collecting material, or producing? Currently collection of links linking to various resources with various quality / tech knowledge levels. Especially Lua because connection to Wikidata; would like to see more docs on Wikidata and some pages exist to link to.
    • How to use Wikidata from the other Wikimedia projects:https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:How_to_use_data_on_Wikimedia_projects
    • Training material about Wikidata (not very useful for newcomers):https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Training
    • Srishti: Should we make it clearer that we welcome to gather more toolkits to be added to this page?
      • Léa: Building content, or only redirecting to resources
  • RexxS' Lua docs for GCI for new contributors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RexxS/GCI
  • RexxS: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VideoWiki - text to speech to create a video
  • Andre: Preferably improve documentation; if non-existing then also write it. For example we welcome help with existing Lua docs!
• Léa: A great task for a documentation sprint at the next hackathon? :)

Thoughts how to better promote SWT:

• RexxS: Affiliates (!) and chapters who could help outreach to smaller language entities.
• Farhad: Regional conferences and their channels, Wikimedia Language Diversity group (on meta and Telegram). Russian, French, Spanish, Arabic etc translations can help to amplify.
• Farhad: Interacting with ~15 communities but some have a small number of admins so can be useful
• RexxS: Get in touch with Robin (Welsh Wikipedia) / WMUK office manager, as a case study?
