مرحباً، أيشوريا وكارولين

نحن سعداء بإخباركم أننا بانضمام أيشوريا فاردانا وكارولين لي ماداو إلينا. ستنضم أيشوريا للفريق بشكل دائم، فيما ستساعد كارولين في الأسابيع القليلة المقبلة فقط. كلتاهما مصممتان مميزتان لتجربة المستخدم ونتطلع بشوق للعمل معهم.

سأترك لهم المجال للتعريف بأنفسهم:

أيشوريا:

مرحبا و مرحبا (بالهندية) بالجميع اسمي أيشوريا I am so happy to be joining the AW team to assist their efforts towards building a deeply multilingual and multicultural Wikipedia. I grew up in a household committed to preserving indigenous knowledge through art, culture, and oral tradition. At a young age I read about the anticolonial teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Dalit activist B.R. Ambedkar, and I believe this was the origins of my interest in knowledge production and knowledge equity. I studied Art and Art History and Product Design at Stanford University where I was an organizer for Black Lives Matter. I recently finished a 10 week course on an Indigenous Study Guide to Abolition at the Yellowhead Institute, found it revelatory, and have been thinking a lot about decolonizing systems! In this vein, I am invested in creating more connectivity between the worlds of technology, design, and social movements. I like to write about decolonizing design here. I look forward to building with all of you. Favorite Wikipedia page: Critical Pedagogy

Carolyn:

Hi! My name is Carolyn (she/her) and I’m excited to be supporting Aishwarya and the Abstract Wikipedia team for the next 6 weeks. I like to work on projects that empower people to question, learn and explore in new ways. In a previous life I was a reference librarian at a commuter college in my beautiful hometown of Brooklyn, NY, which is where I became passionate about free and usable access to knowledge via the internet. For the past four years I have been the designer of the Wikipedia iOS app, where it’s been a pleasure to design and refine products for mobile readers and editors. During my time with the Abstract Wikipedia team I hope to be a steward of design thinking in partnership with Aishwarya, as well as begin to develop a modular and human-centered design roadmap for the project. My favorite Wikipedia list is a List of sundial mottos, my favorite article is Women in climate change.

We are positively thrilled to have them on board. In the coming weeks, we will share more about how we think about our UX challenges. We think that it is crucial for Wikifunctions to be truly accessible and approachable, in order to achieve our goal of democratizing access to code and functions. With Aishwarya and Carolyn joining us, we can finally work toward that piece of the puzzle in order to make Wikifunctions the project it could be.
