Opportunities for the Community
New Tool Alert: Microtask Generator
The Microtask Generator <https://microtask-generator.toolforge.org/> turns
long lists of articles into smaller editing tasks, such as adding
references, images, and categories. It can also help organisers plan
editathons and other editing activities.
