Volunteers from the Odia language Wikipedia joined forces to archive text from early literature and old books now out of print. Odia Wikisource is lightweight, completely text-based and searchable — and accessible on computer and mobile devices. With thousands of books printed so far in this language, Odia Wikisource opens up a whole new world to readers and book lovers. (link)

Aye, possibly! I mean, “fun” does work - just providing food for thought!

LGTM - I’d maybe try something a bit stronger than “fun”, but I’m struggling to think of anything that doesn’t cross the line into childishness. :)
“Interesting”? “Great”?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to promote this really cool data visualization called WikiGraph that generates the connecting pages between any articles on English Wikipedia.
This is another lead I thank WikiResearch for.

We could simply RT @wikiresearch here: https://twitter.com/WikiResearch/status/552991262232432641
f/g: Did you know it only takes 3 clicks to get from the article on "Harry Potter" to the "Spanish Inquisition"? This fun visualization shows you the shortest path between pages on English Wikipedia.

They discussed new ways to collaborate with each other on a wide range of themes, from education to multimedia, wikicamps -- and solutions to the gender gap. (link)
Please let us know what you think.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
In case you don't know this already, Euronews has filmed an episode of its
weekly show learning world about Wikipedia Education Program in Egypt. This
episode will be aired next Friday. I think it would be nice if we post SM
messages to promote the episode so that our followers wait for it. We can
also post a youtube link to the video on our SM channels when we get it on
Friday. As for now I have prepared the following messages to promote it in
advance:
F/G+: Meet the people who stand behind the success of Wikipedia Education
Program in Egypt on Euronews this Friday. Watch this week's episode of the
weekly program Learning World on Friday at 4:45 PM UTC. You can watch it on
the Euronews channel or online on this link:
http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/
t: See how Egyptian students use Wikipedia in Education on @euronews_LW
this Friday at 4:45 UTC or watch it online
http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/
Thank you!

Hello social media team,
We just published a blog post about a promising training program for senior citizens in Prague:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/12/czech-senior-citizens-learn-to-edit/
As the author points out, this program helped recruit new editors in an under-represented, but productive age group.
Here are some ideas for social media messages to promote this new blog post:
Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):
* Senior citizens learn to edit Wikipedia in the Czech Republic, thanks to a new training program. (link)
* Czech program trains senior citizens to edit Wikipedia: here are some of the lessons they learned. (link)
Facebook/Google+
• A new training program in the Czech Republic shows senior citizens how to edit Wikipedia. Here are some of the lessons learned from classes held in Prague last year. Participants edited a wide range of articles -- and about half of them continued to edit after the program ended. (link)
