Wikipedia:Not The Wikipedia Weekly

Not The Wikipedia Weekly is a grassroots project aiming to help connect and inform all contributors to Wikimedia Foundation projects through 'real world' conversations / podcasts. We host occasional Skype conference calls which are open to all, and we discuss various wiki issues of the moment. We want you to be involved! Anyone can host a conversation, and post the recording here, or just join a scheduled chat and listen / contribute as you see fit :-)

Passive participation

You're welcome to listen to our latest recording or browse through our episode archives.

Active participation

To participate, you'll need to install the latest version of Skype onto your computer, have a Skype ID you don't mind sharing with the world, and of course you'll need a microphone and speakers, or headset.

It's not very difficult to host a Skype conference call on your own, and you're welcome to propose a dedicated episode with participants and topics of your choosing, which would also Not The Wikipedia Weekly. Consensus at this page will determine whether or not they remain officially Not The Wikipedia Weekly however! Please do get involved!

  • Probably the easiest way to be part of a recording is to join the Not The Wikipedia Weekly Skype public chat before the recorded conversation starts, which can be reached by clicking on the link: Click to join the NTWW Skype public chat.
  • People in the NTWW Skype public chat will help you join the Skype conference call.
A word of caution

Please note that Skype is not a safe environment, and it is outside WMF. If you're at all in doubt, don't use it. Some suggestions to protect yourself from hacking and outing are described here. See also NTWW Skype chat — guidelines and usage hints

Our next Skypecast

feel free to propose a chat below!

I think it would be great to revive either WikiVoices or Not the Wikipedia weekly at Wikimania. I have a slot at Wikimania to talk about the Death anomalies project, and I'm hoping to make this simultaneously on skype. Does anyone object to my labelling this as a Wikvoices episode, or even better is anyone willing to join in and help make this happen? ϢereSpielChequers 10:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

External site / MP3 files

We've got a little external site now over at ntww.dan.info. It's just a simple page where you can stream all the files below if you like... and now we've even figured out how to put them in an RSS feed here!

Below are links to externally hosted MP3 files of our conversations to date... perfect for long, sleepless nights, international air travel, or as an accompaniment to watching your recently painted fence dry... Big thanks to User:Dtobias for setting this up - and we'll hopefully have something clever like an RSS feed before too long! (...and that time is now... the feed is live!) (any help or advice on improving this would be appreciated, actually!)

I'd probably recommend you save these files locally before listening... maybe by 'right clicking' and selecting 'save target as' or whichever browser message you get...
