With urgent requests from camps in Hungary and Greece, refugeephrasebook.de needs your help: Join us this Sunday, September 13, 2015, in Berlin, 16:00 at Wikimedia Deutschland for an open workshop to convert the tables to a booklet for refugees and improve the project. Please join our livestream here (we hosted via Markus personal account so please excuse the profile pic in the preview 🙂 ):
(13:30-53:00 intro and wikibooks tutorial, and then after 2:42:40 update)
You can also join online, as the Wikibooks workshop will be streamed. We are especially looking for:
- Anyone confident to work with tables and common Office software
- Designers to help us figure out more useful layout, a template etc
- Code-savvy people to find a better export/conversion solutions and improve the website
- Arabic speakers/readers
- People who want to help with distribution and printing
If you know someone who wants to help with refugeephrasebook, please invite them as well. Wikimedia e.V. host the workshop free of charge and is not involved in https://refugeephrasebook.de/ itself. The open workshop part will be streamed for anyone to wants to contribute from afar.
Currently printable versions are based on 3 different tables via wikibooks and Open Office. Anyone can reuse the content. This sunday, we want to produce a book to be printed for the greek island of Kos, where thousands of refugees wait in dire circumstances without basic tools for communication. The phrasebooks will be printed in Berlin and distributed in Kos next week.
