If we are looking for a good multi-language solution that avoids English-only usage, I would like to propose utilising Movement Strategy Forum [1]. It is available to any Wikimedia user (it uses Wikimedia SUL as a login) and can be read even by unlogged users. Its star feature is multi-language capability, a translation extension that allows each user to write in its own language and have their entries automatically translated into languages used by other users. One newsletter ("Updates from the Communities") written by the WMF's Advancement Department is already being shared there since August 2022 [2] (in addition to being published on Facebook).

Movement Strategy and Governance team working in the Wikimedia Foundation has been running the Forum (disclaimer: I work part-time as a member of this team) since spring of this year (Report for the Proposal Review Period is available on Meta [3]). MS Forum allows users from all communities to share information about their activities and projects. It has a lower entry barrier, as it does not require English proficiency to participate in global discussions. It is also easier to join for newcomers than Meta, which may be a tough place to enter at the beginning.

I welcome everyone to visit the Forum and read about Movement Strategy developments and projects in communities that some of us may have never heard from before. They are there, talking to the Movement in English and many more languages.

Cheers!

The Meta-Wiki based tech newsletter is available in a fair number of languages. Perhaps a Meta based truly cross-project newsletter could utilize Meta-Wiki?s translation setup to avoid an English-only usage?

Hoi,
Be realistic. A newsletter across the Wikimedia Movement would promote existing newsletter that mostly in a language people do not understand.

It does not change my point that I do not want to read promotions for a product that is not representative while it assumes that it does reflect a relevant opinion. An opinion that is mostly negative in its aspirations.
Thanks,
GerardM

It might be worth creating a unified "Newsletters across the Wikimedia movement" email, consisting of the Signpost and any other newsletters/publications produced/released by community members that month - are there any other "newspapers"/publications created by Wikimedia communities and released on a regular basis?

Hi Gerard (and everyone else) -

I join with others in saying that links to other newsletters published on our various projects, and in various languages, would be a really valuable addition to this list. Many of us would really like to learn about what different projects consider to be important. I'd really like to encourage that other newsletter links be posted on this list.

Hoi,
The problem with the arguments made in the Signpost is that they represent English Wikipedia and adhere to what some consider what the pov of Wikipedia should be. As a pov it is fine but I do consider it not a publication that is representative. As such I do not need the advertisements for its publication.
Thanks,

While the Signpost is hosted on the English Wikipedia and started as very much an EN Wiki venture, it aspires to be of more general interest. Looking at that specific issue, yes there is much that is mainly English Wikipedia focused, including a small contribution of mine. But some of the content, such as about the WMF elections is of general community interest, and at least one story is about Wikimedia Commons rather than Wikipedia.

Hoi,
De Signpost is een publicatie van de Engelse Wikipedia. Waarom wordt de
Wikimedia mailing list daarmee lastig gevallen?
Vriendelijke groet,
