Hi all
I was asked by my chapter to promote Wikimedia Poland using Diaspora
network. Apparently it is quite popular among people related to open
education in Poland and it might be a good idea to try to reach to them
using this site.
I'm not very familiar with Diaspora so I would really appreciate some
advice on that. Does anyone here have any experience with using this
network to promote Wikimedia projects? Did you find it useful or not
really? Are there any tips or/and stories you would like to share?

Hi all,
After some discussion on phabricator
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91633>, it was decided to create
http://www.whatcanidoforwikimedia.org/ to help promote public contribution
to the Wikimedia projects.
Obviously, a project such as this needs as much publicity as possible to
get the ball rolling. Would it be possible to have a mention on the
Wikimedia social media outlets?

Hi Jeff (switching topic back to the thread about TAFI),
Coin945 (who posted these suggestions) is now subscribed to this list
and can thus answer your question directly. But I think the matter was
simply that the drafts had been copied over from Wikipedia to Meta
without adjusting links, e.g. the first one was intended to link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror instead of
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comedy_horror&action=edit&redl…
.

Hi all,
I would like to promote the latest blog from this series on the @Wikimedia
handle. How about:
* TW:
How to find a balance between quality and coverage? #WhatILearned: Wiki
Photo School in Serbia
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/28/wiki-photo-school-in-serbia/
* FB / G+:
This month, series #WhatILearned highlights the experience of Wikimedia
Serbia while running a Wiki Photo School in Petnica Science Center. How do
you find a balance between quality and coverage when engaging new users to
upload their pictures? How do you keep participants engaged? Read and
follow the series:

Is there a draft blog post somewhere? If not, we've got a community draft
of an announcement on wiki that might be suitable as a blog post; it almost
reads like a community press release.
