[Translators-l] Ready for early translation: Tech News #34 (2014)

[Vira Motorko]

I'm not sure that all of us, translators, know about odder's call, but I
fully agree and will try to reach others on my home wiki.

> Hi again,

> week in protest against the recent actions of the Foundation.

> I have explained my reasoning in detail in my previous e-mail, so I
> won't repeat it here: I'll only say that /not/ translating Tech News
> this week is a good method of bearing pressure on the Foundation, as
> it goes against the goals that they set themselves as an organization.
>
> It might be just a small gesture, but we are seeing similar protests
> and strikes from all sides of the Wikimedia community — admins
> resigning or going inactive, regular users withdrawing article
> namespace contributions, OTRS agents stopping their work.
>
> As the saying goes, little strokes fell greats oaks, so if you
> disagree with what the Foundation has done (and keeps doing), please
> consider not translating Tech News this week.
>
> Let's all hope that the Foundation reverse their decision so we can
> get back to work and make the Wikimedia movement better through
> discussion and consensus rather than through the threat and use of
> force.

> Thank you!
