Hello everyone,
I hope you all are having an excellent week :)
As many of you might know, the newsletter is going back to monthly issues! We will publish the next issue at the end of February. I collected and incorporated your feedback in the new version. It will focus on sharing: your ideas, stories, success and challenges. We encourage you to submit an article for the Feb issue!
The new version will also include a featured topic, that we hope the community will engage with us in discussing.
This month's featured topic is: Overcoming challenges. What is one significant challenge you’ve faced in planning, implementing or evaluating an education program? Participate in the discussion here https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/featured_topic.
There is also one more thing we’d like your feedback on. It has been suggested that we switch to an input box to collect stories for the newsletter. This is similar to how drafts are collected for the Wikimedia Blog. You can see the input box in action here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog. An example of how it could work for us is here https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:NSaad_(WMF)/testing. Thoughts? This would make it easier for the newsletter volunteers to move articles into the main newsletter.
Thank you all for your contributions to this great Wikimedia education community.
All the best,
Nichole
+ 1 for posting via input box. Will make it easier for both volunteers reporting their news and volunteers running / managing the newsletter.

Thanks for your thoughts, Shani. I see you already submitted an article to the newsroom. Thanks for that! I've added the input box and also left space for the community to submit manually. If we like the input box after giving it a test run we can keep it :). For February feel free to use either method.
cheers,
Nichole
