I'm not in a position to speak for the organisers, but I would imagine that their intent was to avoid clogging up this list with their own internal discussions. I'm sure anything pertinent to the entire Wikimania/Wikimedia community will be shared with this list when there is something to share.

Best,

you do send all updates here as well, isn't it? tinyletter is just an additional channel?

Hi all,

When looking for the dates that registration would open for Wikimania 2014, I was surprised to be asked at:
https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration
to join a separate mailing list to be informed when registration will open, at:
https://tinyletter.com/WikimaniaLondon
Is there a reason why tinyletter (who apparently have something to do with mailchimp?) are being used for this, rather than this mailing list, or another Wikimedia-hosted list? Also, please could it be made clearer that subscribing to this mailing list passes personal information on to third parties?

Thanks,
Mike
