Hi Derric,
thanks for your email. I know the Wikimedia Blog, but I just look at it every few weeks or
months. :-( And if you or somebody else writes something most probably I don't see it.
So I thought, we can organize that a bit, that messages can be spread.
If somebody just posts a link and a comment in this MediaWiki enterprise list I'll get
an email (!). That's completely different. Old school but effective :-D
Have a nice weekend!
Richard

Betreff: Re: [Mediawiki-enterprise] New Developments. Let's talk about it
Dear all,
this afternoon I was reading about the coming Flow extension. That's
really great work. And I can't wait to work with it.
And there are so many other interesting projects: Visual Editor,
Parsoid, Athena skin, Echo, Lua, Wiki Data and so on.
Despite of that MediaWiki you can see at Google Trends, that MediaWiki
is still loosing attention. And in my opinion people just don't know,
that MediaWiki is catching up. And they don't know, that it needs help.
But this is important for all of us, that developers see, that
MediaWiki is no longer a software of the "zero" years.
So I suggest to publish more blog articles and social media posts about
this new developments and if somebody has something nice to read, to
discuss or to share gives a hint, so that the others can spread the news in their
community.
Best regards,
Richard
Good afternoon Richard,
Have you seen the Wikimedia Foundation's blog? It is available at
https://blog.wikimedia.org/ and they post to it several times a week.
I agree though that there is not really enough promotion of the Mediawiki software. I try
to share things that I read on the Wikimedia blog when they are interesting.
It has always seemed strange to me how few people seem to know about Mediawiki and what it
is capable of (likewise how few people understand how Wikipedia works).
Thank you,
Derric Atzrott
