Hi,

The best starting point (apart from policy.wikimedia.org) is to read a few blogposts on what has been done in the US and Europe, for instance. This way you can get a feeling of how we operate and where we come from.

Here's a small selection:

No sweat Dimi, I just mean I'm ignorant about the issues.  I joined the list because I trust you guys are on point about advocacy, my question was really how do I educate myself about the policy issues at stake?

Thanks,

Hi Milton,

Sorry about that! I was just welcoming a new member.

Otherwise most communication here is on-topic and about specific policy issues.

Best,

Dimi

Hello All,

I'm having trouble understanding what's going on in these emails.  They feel like intra-department threads at an office.  How can I get up to speed?
