Dear best-practices-team!

We are taking big steps forward on existing articles like *Assigning Wikipedia articles as coursework to students, *and *Using Wikibooks in the classroom *and on new pages like *Building a content partnership with a cultural institution, *and *Wikimedia loves photography events.

*In the last weeks we had inspiring discussions, intensive conference calls with many dedicated Wikipedians, and we were able to engage experts from the outside!

That brought us a lot of attention, comments, and positive feedback from the community! Thanks to all of you for your hard work and support!

But I have the feeling that we just started and that we are now really picking up speed!

Jan Eissfeld has his hands full to support a variety of university projects starting this fall. And I know that many of you are deeply involved contributing to Wikipedia's mission!

I am eager to hear about your plans! What else can we achieve in the next months? What issues need to be addressed on the best-practices pages?

How could you contribute to this? Who else could join our team? Do you know of any interesting activities in the chapters? Should we change/ improve our communication channels (IRC-meetings)?

Please, share your ideas, thoughts, or plans with us (you can also use the planning calendar):

Thanks again for your wonderful support! Kathrin
