Hi outreach-focused people!

In case you haven't seen Sage's blog post[1] or didn't see me at Wikimania, we have a new brochure that introduces newbies to contributing files to Wikimedia Commons, called "Illustrating Wikipedia: A guide to contributing content to Wikimedia Commons"[2]. Design files are available in both Scribus and InDesign, and the text is available for translation through the translatewiki extension[3]. I'm excited to see it's nearly complete in Spanish, and translations are underway in French, Polish, Swedish, and Turkish!

I have some printed copies available in English. If you're doing an event and having printed copies of the brochure in English would be useful, please let me know offlist how many you need, what mailing address I should send them too, and when you need them by. This offer is also open for the Welcome to Wikipedia[4] brochure, the Evaluating Wikipedia[5] brochure, the Instructor Basics[6] brochure, the Case Studies[7] brochure, and the Syllabus[8] brochure. Of course, they're all also available on Commons if digital copies will suffice.

I hope the new brochure is useful to your work! LiAnna
