Thanks a lot for preparing this, Erica.
A few tips for the next issues, that would make the translators' work easier:
* Make the paragraphs as short as possible. * Use lists (numbered or bulleted) wherever relevant. * Announce the first version at last a week before distribution; preferably earlier. * Freeze the text at least two days before distribution, and announce the freezing on this mailing list (if you did announce it - sorry, I must have missed it).
Again, thanks to all the people involved!

Hi all. I feel like saying "Thank you" really isn't enough, sometimes. The current issue of the newsletter was just delivered in 20 languages (+ English). You are amazing. I'd also like to thank everybody who's supporting me as I'm learning how to handle this (you know who you are). My apologies if any edits made after my previous announcement invalidated your work, I'll be more careful in the future. Enjoy your weekend,
Elitre (WMF)

Hi all, a new issue of the VisualEditor newsletter is now open to translations!
Current issue:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Newsletter/2014/November
Direct translation link:https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=pag...
This will be delivered to the people who already signed up in the past months (please sign up! [1]) in addition to a list of relevant pages which includes at a minimum all the Wikipedias where VisualEditor is already the default editor [2]. I plan to send it toward the end of the workweek.
Thank you for your invaluable help!
Best, Elitre (WMF)
