Hi all,
I can use some help!
Since last year I am helping with the publication of the newsletter *This Month in Education* and I notice that we can use a lot more exposure. Especially in the last few years a lot of user groups have been founded, and in existing affiliations only limitedly stories are shared through the newsletter. While in the core group of wiki education enthusiasts the newsletter is known, we need to tell our story to a wider audience to inspire as many Wikimedians and beyond in the world. I think we need to do especially two things, which I am working on now.
First of all, we need to be able to find more easily through navigation on Wikimedia platforms. To start with Meta, I created this page with some basic information so people can more easily find the newsletter on Meta too: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/About Did I miss anything? Things that can be improved?
Secondly, we need to make more people in the movement aware of that the newsletter exists AND that they can write for it. I have been thinking about this for some time and came to the conclusion that a flyer to be handed out at Wikimania and the Wikimedia Conference (and perhaps elsewhere too) is a good way to spread awareness. Therefore I am working on a flyer with on one side info about the *This Month in Education* newsletter, and on the other side about the *This Month in GLAM* newsletter, bot community driven newsletters. In the coming couple of days I think I have a first version available and would like to have some feedback on it. Who wants to help by reviewing the flyer and give feedback?
Thanks!
See you at Wikimania!
Romaine
