Hey Alex,
I'm copying in the public mailing list for this. Most requests should be
sent to social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org, the 'old' internal list (
socialmedia(a)wikimedia.org) is generally dormant and so requests may not be
answered. I'm trying to work with folks to rename it.

Sharing on the public mailing list as a nice public spot to do it:
Thoughts on doing this as a blog post?

T: To efficiently support volunteers and minimize overhead,
@Wikimedia_CR developed a free expense tracking software
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/05/27/tracker-software-efficiently-track-gr…
FB/G+: Wikimedia Czech Republic reimburses many small expenses by
Wikimedia volunteers to support them in the creation of free content,
such as minor travel costs for photographers.
To minimize administrative overhead, the chapter has developed its own
lightweight expense tracking software, which other organizations can
reuse for their own purposes.
