Hey All
For those who may not be aware I am running for the board of the WMF.
Voting is here
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…
If elected hopefully I can help Wiki Journal become a full sister project.
Best
James

Hi all,
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is now involved in creating a wiki-based news
site: www.wikitribune.com
I think this is beneficial for us, because it seems like a major competitor
for Philip's WikiJournal.org site. I believe he will take down his site
sooner because of this, and instead donate the domain to our project.
Best regards,
Mikael
