'''Wikivoices''' is a grassroots and utterly "unofficial" attempt to connect and inform editors of all foundation wikis, which started off as [[w:WP:NTWW|Not The Wikipedia Weekly]] on the English Wikipedia. We're running occasional [[w:Skype|Skype]] [[w:conference calls|conference calls]] and [[w:skypecast|skypecasts]] which are [[w:Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/open to all|open to all]], and we discuss various wiki issues of the moment.<br /><br /> |
|||
Right now we are in a transitional phase as Not The Wikipedia Weekly completes its move to become Wikivoices. If you have any questions or suggestions at all, including any feedback about something you've heard, feel free to drop a note on the talk page, and someone will be happy to help you!</div><!-- |

;Passive participation |
|||
You're welcome to listen to [[#Our_latest_recorded_Skypecast|our latest skypecast]] or browse through our [[#Episode_archives|episode archives]]. |
|||
;Active participation |
|||
To participate, you'll need to install the latest version of [[w:Skype|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 [[w:Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/HowTo|not very difficult to host a Skypecast on your own]], and you're welcome to '''[[w:Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/Topics|propose a dedicated episode]]''' with participants and topics of your choosing, which would also Not be Wikipedia Weeklys. Consensus at this page will determine whether or not they remain officially NotTheWikipediaWeekly however! Please do get involved! |
|||
;A word of caution |

Please note that '''[[Skype#Security_features|Skype is not a safe environment]]''', and [[w:WP:POL|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 [[w:Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/Helpful Hints#Security tips|here]].

;Method one |
|||
*One way to join a Wikivoices discussion is to first join the Wikivoices Skype public chat before the Skypecast starts, which can be reached by clicking on the link: '''[http://www.skype.com/go/joinpublicchat?blob=rWsQgHZ3PzFeRCaEicDGAlEHvCbjAv-4tU8M29aeCGSG7fE9CtJOTeDL-2O7QAaqoQ Click to join the NTWW Skype public chat]'''. |
|||
*People in the WV Skype public chat will help you join the [[w:Skypecast|Skypecast]] or [[w:Skype|Skype]] [[w:Conference Call|Conference Call]]. |
|||
;Method two |
|||
* Another method that is available when a Skypecast room and number is provided is to click on the number or link below to enter the Skypecast room. A link to join the 'room' will appear on this page about half an hour before the scheduled start time of the conversation, if a Skypecast room is available (which will not always be true, given the time and Skype traffic). |
|||
* If you have [[w:Skype|Skype]] installed on your machine, all you will need to do to participate is click on the link. It can take a few attempts to connect to the Skypecast. If you have any questions, other participants will be monitoring this page, the associated talk page, and likely be available on [[irc:notthewikipediaweekly|IRC]] and in the [http://www.skype.com/go/joinpublicchat?skypename=bob.in.md&topic=NTWW%20Public%20Chat&blob=rWsQgHZ3PzFeRCaEicDGAlEHvCbjAv-4tU8M29aeCGSG7fE9CtJOTeDL-2O7QAaqoQ NTWW Skype public chat] also. Feel free to ask for help if you are having trouble connecting. We'll do what we can to help.<!-- |

'''Wikivoices''' is a project to support and encourage Wikimedians of all stripes to talk to each other, and about anything which tweaks their interest. Wikivoices hosts chats via Skype in text and voice, and records some of its voice chats to share with other Wikimedians. |
|||
Most of our work follows one of two formats: |
|||
# Roundtable discussions about one or more subjects. |
|||
# Real time editing: editors get together to create an article (or other type of text) and |
|||
==History== |
|||
Wikivoices began as [[:en:Wikipedia:Not the Wikipedia Weekly|Not the Wikipedia Weekly]] at English Wikipedia in spring 2008, doing podcasts on a roughly weekly basis about wiki-related matters. The project had always been welcoming of participants in sister wikis, and as interest expanded the participants contemplated a move to Meta in order to put all WMF sites on an equal footing. |
|||
WV also operates ongoing chats in text and voice via Skype and its members undertake collaborative content editing. Wikimedians who have questions are welcome to join (see instructions on the en:wiki pages) or contact [[User:Durova|Durova]] for assistance. |
|||
==Proposed recordings and topics== |
|||
Initial notes on proposed future episodes. Feel free to add! |
|||
*Wikinews: real time editing--a group of people choose a story from the headlines and construct an article collaboratively in real time. |
|||
*Signwriting: in-depth coverage of the movement to build wikipedias for the Deaf community. |
|||
*English Wikipedia Arbitration Elections: interviews with this year's candidates. |
|||
*If I Were God-King: each panelist gets 5 minutes to expound on their own biggest "big idea" of how to better Wikimedia and save the world. |
|||
==Plan an episode== |
|||
Want to do a recording? Great! Experienced WVers will be glad to answer questions and lend a hand. Remember that if you want a recorded session, you'll need at least one person with recording ability (through a service such as CallGraph) and audio editing ability (through software such as Audacity). |
|||
Several sessions may be in planning at the same time. Please give proposed sessions names rather than numbers: we'll number them in the order they come back fully edited. We'll continue our numbering from NTWW, so the first WV episode will be numbered 37. |
|||
See [[/Template]] for formatting code. |

====Format and topics==== |
|||
*Create a news article in real time. Come with your favorite headlines, or a willingness to dive in! |
|||
**Basic plan: a group of editors get into a room and start writing an article. Some will come with headlines and and idea what they want to write about. In the first few minutes the group chooses an article topic by consensus, then gets busy writing it. Occasional edit conflicts may occur; that's all right. Suggest drafting in a text browser and coordinating with other editors. No Wikinews experience required! Other people will be there who already know the site, so if you've been thinking of joining it's the perfect opportunity. |
|||
*Some discussion of Wikinews' relevance within the Wikimedia community. Can/does/should Wikinews report on happenings inside it's own community? The wider Wikimedia community? |
