Hello!
We're happy announce the advent of a new user group, the Wikipedia
Library User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Library_User_Group>. The
group will serve as a platform to help increase the bond between
librarians and Wikipedians. The user group is yet to be recognized by
the affiliations committee and certain factors about the group are yet
to be decided.
Join us in deciding the name of the user group, logo, scope, and
anything you wish to add or remove, by signing up in the group's meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Library_User_Group#Members>.
You can even take on a role to organize the group's activities!
We have a lot of interesting things planned once the group is
recognized by the AffCom. Join us and don't forget to invite your
friends and colleagues!
Thanks,
UY Scuti
Hey All,
Just wanted to remind you that the Project Grant proposals are still open.
The grants that frequently get funded, are ones related to or iterating on
our programs.
Cheers,
