Hi Sj and everyone.
I suddenly realise I have no idea of who is currently registered to this mailing list, so
I just put a couple of additional names in the cc field :-)
The time to write the NL is very short. I put some suggestions for content in
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Quarto
In particular, I hope we have some reports of the last new projects created or in
creation.
Could you Erik do us a summary of last 3 months happening with the Wikinews ?
Could someone do as well for Wikicommons ?
Wikimania meeting
Could you Elian update us on this in a paragraph ?
Local chapters
Could Elian, Ryo and Yann (and perhaps Aurevilly as well) update us on the fr and de
chapters ?
I still have some pictures to provide from the creation of fr
Rotterdam meeting
Could Oscar and/or Gerard have something for us on this ?
Developers meeting in december
Tim Starling, could you make a small bit on this topic, to announce it, to introduce topic
of discussion ?
Funding
Maveric, may you do us a report on the september fundraising ?
Grants
Danny, I am sure you will say you are very busy, but an update on the Beck report and a
paragraph to explain the wikijunior book (who is working on this, where, which are
currently under work...) might be just great.
Also, do we have any news of the Pirelli award which could be mentionned as well ?
Buon Natale e felice Anno Nuovo!
Gerard, could you contact Sabine on this so that he can write something about it ?
Jimbo and Angela
What about telling us all you can think of (and are allowed to) say about the BBC
experiment ?
Servers and other tech stuff
Tim, could you see that an update is done on this, with help from anyone who can help ?
Jimbo
Can you think of a founder letter ?
Ang and I will try to do a board report as well.
There is plenty of room left for other ideas as well, we need more on the major press
articles, the news on all projects (much was done on meta, so it should be easier). Is
there a major issue on one project you would love to tell us about ?
Also, for all projects, please, do not hesitate to use the international section as well.
Sj, I'll work on the board report and probably add to the french creaction as well as
Rotterdam meeting. I'll sent probably content by mail only.
Greetings to all.

* Prof. Lawrence Lessig has been on the hook for an interview all
month... it may not happen in time for this edition, but you can find
a longer list of questions for him on the same page.
Contests:
Here's your chance to change the newsletter's name! There is a
contest on meta at

There is also a cover-design contest, with an aesthetically pleasing

And finally, there will be another Quarto meeting in the coming week,
to bring together thoughts on the first newsletter and discuss
versions of the next; perhaps Monday or Tuesday next week.
