Maybe I missed the original announcement, or maybe I just don't poke
around Wikipedia beyond the narrow areas I'm preoccupied with, but
I just noticed that there is a page linked from [[Wikipedia:Community Portal]]
called [[Wikipedia:Goings-on]], which is consists of a running chronicle
of events that the interested Wikipedian would like to know: Featured
Articles & Pictures, changes to the Wikipedia code base (something I've
noticed that needs to be more visibly documented), polls, new sysops, &
highlights from the Wikien-l list. (Hopefuly, the same will be done for
the Wikitech & other Wiki mailing lists.)
It's definitely breaking down one of the walls that has inadvertently
created a sense of elitism on Wikipedia.
