Hello all,
I am happy to announce that a Wikimedia newsletter is underway. The
plan is to publish it online next week, then lay it out for print
publication. You can see an outline of the first issue here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Newsletter_(outline)
We are looking for a managing editor in each language, a lead
copyeditor, a print editor, and a community reporter. If you would
like to work on the newsletter in any capacity, please leave a note on
the talk page, or email me directly.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Newsletter
Everyone is encouraged to suggest content; particularly compelling
wiki-statistics, notes about local wikiprojects, symbolic articles
(preferably from the [[meta:List of articles all languages should
have]], and 'feature-quality' in more than one language) and images
for the gallery. Please leave suggestions for newsletter content on
the discussion page above.
We also need translators, and proofreaders in each language. You can
follow the translation effort or contribute to it here:

On the subject of translations, I want to repeat Michael Snow's notice
of the press release being prepared in honor of the one millionth
Wikipedia article. Please spread the word, and help us translate this
into every one of our hundred+ languages (currently we only have
translations in 15). Note that the original is still being edited, and
is not yet ready for release.

This is also a good time to think of local newspapers and radio
stations that you could contact about the announcement (it's not too
early to start contacting them now). For a list of organizations
contacted earlier this year, see

September cheer,

Howdy,
I hope this is the right list to post this inquiry, if not can someone direct me to the appropriate list. I'm trying to install mediawiki 1.3.2 and I'm getting the following error report. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Rich
a.. PHP 4.3.8: ok

Our upcoming press release about the 1,000,000-article milestone for
Wikipedia is approaching completion. I just wanted to keep everyone
informed who's helping with the project. Based on the current rate of
article creation, we're still looking at September 15 as the date for
the millionth article, and we plan to starting sending the press release
that day.
I anticipate some changes still need to be made - for example, a new
quote from Jimbo instead of recycling the one from the last press
release. But I plan to push on and hopefully have a final text ready in
the next 24 hours or so. Anyone who still has input they want to offer,
please don't hold back; I would love to have your help, but we need to
freeze the text for the translation process very soon.
Thanks also to the translators, many of whom have already started
working on the draft text. I will announce on this list again when the
text is finalized, so you can update translations to that version.

I see two problems here:
1) People confuse your personal opinions with Wikipedia policy. Maybe a
copy&paste disclaimer for your emails would help with that? "The opinions
in this email are my own and do not reflect Wikimedia or Wikipedia project
policy unless otherwise stated." Most email clients support multiple sigs
for purposes like that.
2) People don't realize that Wikimedia is not just Jimbo Wales. Most of
our external communications have been very Jimbo-centric so far, but
that's partially because there was no elected Board of Trustees, for
example. Is there a shared board email address already? Maybe something
like board at wikimedia dot org could be used as a replacement for the
ubiquitous jwales at bomis dot com. That would also help in combating the
Bomis-related conspiracy theories.
A ticket system would offer quite a few advantages over a simple mailing
list: 1) no duplicate effort, 2) no need for spamming your inbox, just do
everything through a single web interface, 3) easily expand the team of
"agents", with different categories and associated user rights.
Essentially a Bugzilla for emails.
This system here looks interesting:

Yann,
Je pr�f�rerais tr�s tr�s vivement que lorsque tu
parles au nom du conseil de Wikimedia (ie, en tant que
porte parole)
* soit tu demandes � un membre du board son opinion au
pr�alable
* soit qu'au minimum, tu mettes en copie le courrier
envoy�, � la liste de discussion ou � un membre.
Tu peux bien sur parfaitement �crire en ton nom
propre.

I think Timwi meant that MediaZilla should be used to organize the
developer payments, not that it is a candidate for payment. This means
that the a tag is added to bugs or feature requests that tells anyone
looking at MediaZilla that a bounty is available, and the developer
can choose to accept it by noting this in MediaZilla itself, rather
than on the wiki.

Many meetings took place in Europe and US. Some are
reported on meta, but not all of them. Could those who
participated to these meetings list them on meta
(place, date and notable events if appropriate, plus
relevant links to local project with all the great
pictures and name of participants) so we could track
of all this ?
Thanks in advance.
