[Foundation-l] Tell us about your Wikipedia

[Ziko van Dijk]

In fact, I am amazed with how little help pages and community building
elements the small Wikipedias have come so far. But they remain small
communities, and I suppose this has to do with a lack of these
elements. Without, it is difficult for new people to join and actually
fit in and stay.
Therefore "Multilingual Wikipedia" at Meta includes also a manual:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Manual_for_small_and_new_Wikipedias
Ideas and corrections are welcome. :-)

Because people like GerardM from Betawiki and others have to migrate
from village pump to village pump to inform about useful thing for all
Wikipedias, I have set up
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/All_Wikipedia_Pin_Board
but for so long I am the only who ever posted... Maybe it will work,
maybe not. Without doubt, it would at least save a lot of work to
GerardM. :-)
