Hi Romaine,

Yes, it is a good idea to document the publication process step-by-step. 

The education newsletter team has done so here:

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

It gives me the feeling that it would be good to document the publication process of the newsletter. We have one for This Month in GLAM and makes sure we do not forget anything, etc. I must say I was wondering when the invitation to write was sent, I have not seen it, but I was a bit ill so could have missed it.

But a step-by-step procedure would solve multiple issues I think.

Greetings,

Romaine

Anna I am happy that you brought this up: I was eagerly expecting a notification on my talk page (actually I remember there used to be cross-posting so that an educator could not miss the invitation to write!) and I had exciting news to share... and I am also a member of the Education mailing list and I do not recall any mention of the newsletter. That probably explains what there were only four stories... (how were the other educators alerted BTW?) As for the new proposed format of the newsletter, I have expressed my opinion in the other thread.

Happy Holidays to all:-)

Dear Nichole, 

Thank you for sharing the newsletter. In the past, the newsletter team, which Sailesh linked to, has been contacted about helping to produce it. It seems that you have produced it entirely on your own. Why this depature from previous practice without discussion? I had no talk page notifications nor any emails. Was this issue of newsletter copyedited prior to publication? It doesn't look like it, based on the the page history. Also, there are translation estension breaks all over the news page: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News and there is a redlink on the homepage: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education The community is happy to help publish the newsletter, if you include us. 

Sincerely, 

Anna Koval

Hello! 

I am happy to announce the release of the Wikipedia Education Program's December Newsletter.  There are some great stories in this issue! 

If there is anyone in the community who has the "MassMessage sender" user right I would kindly ask your help this month to send the newsletter out via that channel. 

My best to you all as we finish out 2016!
