Hi,
I agree with Sarah. Both the community, chapters and the @WeAreWikipedia
account needs more diversity. I'm a white, West European, middle aged(?)
male, working at a chapter (Wikimedia Sweden) and I'm running
@WeAreWikipedia for the second time now. As I got asked to apply last
weekend I doubt there is a huge crowd waiting to curate, so I recommend you
to sign up,
http://wearewikipedia.wordpress.com/take-part/.
Also recommending you to read the Storify Roberta Wedge put together, both
the one about her week as curator (
https://storify.com/robertawedge/my-week-on-wearewikipedia) and the one
with our (Wikimedia Sweden) blog with X-mas greetings and stupid ads (
https://storify.com/robertawedge/a-few-thoughts-on-gendergap-and-wikiwomen-…
).
(Don't be fooled by my face next to her tweets, it's a Storify embedding
twitter issue. Next week someone else (you?) will be there.)
Best regards

...Roberta from the UK made a storify of some selected
moments, including
my tenure as the account writer..

She makes great points about the lack of diversity often seen at chapters.
It seems to be the same people who run the WeAreWikipedia account, so they
need some fresh people, please consider participating yourself. It was
REALLY great experience for me..
