Today at Wikimania I found out about Terrence & Elizabeth Eden's OpenBenches project, and noted that three memorial benches I know of in Pukerua Bay are not listed. Photo trek when I get home! https://openbenches.org/ #Wikimania2026 #OpenBenches #PukeruaBay #CreativeCommons #geotagging

@bvibber@wikis.world @wikimediaaotearoa@mastodon.social @wikipedia_fr@wikis.world is anyone else here at the Wikimania Hackathon interested in hacking on the MediaWiki Score music notation extension? We've just deployed my SVG patch, but it would be cool to fix up some other stuff. I'm floating around in a purple Ubuntu 10.04 T-shirt 😃 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-extensions-score/ #Wikimania #Wikipedia #lilypond #wikimania2026

Finally, a 13-year-old feature request has been deployed to Wikipedia: the music notation extension, that uses LilyPond, now does proper good SVG output! 🎵 Behold, the music examples in the tuba article, recently reviewed to Good Article status: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuba #wikipedia #lilypond #tuba
