by Tilman Bayer 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

A heads-up that plans for a WMF-owned URL shortener are going to be a topic at this IRC meeting tomorrow, as that's an idea which we have been discussing in the social media team in the past, too (although IIRC that was mostly before t.co became the mandatory URL shortener on Twitter). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 8:58 PM Subject: [Wikitech-l] short RfC review meeting Wednesday: five quick decisions To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> This Wednesday, 2100-21:30 UTC, let's have a thirty-minute RfC review meeting to check on a few proposals to consolidate, and whether a few authors have done their next steps from the last few months. (If people want to answer these questions onlist/onwiki that's fine too.) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2014-03-12 I have some open questions: [...] 2.

Hi Charles, Pretty close! The list you emailed is our old 'private' internal list. We have a new public mailing list we use for this now (I should try and add an auto reply actually to the old list). I've copied in the new list but it's at social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org you are welcome to join as well! Personally I'm happy to re share the post, I'll wait for another set of eyes to agree first though.
