Sounds great - kind of a no-brainer, for the MediaWiki accounts in any case. The only challenge I would see in the long term (in particular when extending it to other less specialized accounts) is that it might seem pretty repetitive after a while unless one crafts a custom message each time highlighting some of the content of the new issue - is that the plan? (Or include a such a custom headline in the newsletter itself, kind of like the Signpost's weekly Technology reports used to have.) FWIW, for the Wikimedia Highlights, I'm using the TOC for this purpose when posting on FB and G+.

Hi,

Following the recent Tech news blog post, Waldir left a comment on the
MediaWiki Google+ page asking if it would be possible to post the link
to the weekly tech newsletter on social media channels:

https://plus.google.com/103470172168784626509/posts/4rDTVXKxfZv

When I started the newsletter last year, I didn't want to post it
every week on SM channels because we were just starting out. Now that
the publication is reasonably steady, Waldir's comment has me
rethinking the possibility.

So, I'm considering posting the link to the latest tech newsletter
every morning when it's delivered to the subscribers across wikis. The
link would be posted on all 3 channels (Facebook, Twitter and Google+)
but only from the MediaWiki accounts for now. We might want to reshare
or retweet it frow @Wikimedia from time to time, but for now I'd like
to focus on getting started from @mediawiki.

Thoughts?
