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

Would you be interested in starting a MediaWiki planet? or even an enterprise specific planet?
All we need to start is a list of feeds to include.
See https://en.planet.wikimedia.org/ and feel free to start making a list of feeds @ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia

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

Interested news-lovers on this list: now that a little time has passed, are you looking at the Wikimedia blog more often? :-) Specifically, https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/technology/ might be interesting for you (the tech posts).
You might like to subscribe to https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors which is a list that gets notified when interesting new tech is coming into MediaWiki and will affect the Wikimedia sites -- it is often stuff that is interesting to enterprises as well.
And our Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/MediaWiki (also available on Identi.ca) might be something you'll enjoy as well!
Thanks for using MediaWiki!
In Russia we have very popular IT-blogging farm called Habrahabr. I've almost finished my article about Semantic MediaWiki, hopeflly it will attract some attention. I also occasionnaly write to my blog, which is not... khhmm, super popular :D :
BTW is there anything like like collective IT blog in English segment of the Web? I've found the following websites where the articles about MediaWiki will be in appriate place:
https://news.ycombinator.com http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ - very must have http://techcrunch.com/social/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/ ?????? https://freecode.com/projects/mediawiki (with pretty funny way of publishing articles: http://help.freecode.com/kb/articles/how-do-i-submit-an-article-for-publicat... ) What about asking questions you need not in wikitech-l or mediawiki mailing lists but on stackoverflow.com ? It creates some visibility.

Thanks Yuri and Jeremy for your helpful references! Shame: Planet Wikimedia was really new for me.
