An opt-in checkbox to receive such a newsletter for each new user account
on any Wikimedia wiki might also be a good idea.
I agree. This could be checked the same time as people check the box to say they want to become Wikimedia members. How about having checkboxes in user preferences: *Become a Volunteer Active Member [ ] *Receive Wikimedia emails [ ] *Become a Contributing Active Member [ ] (leads to a form where you can pay dues)
Links should be given on that part of the user preferences page to terms and conditions, the bylaws, the privacy policy etc.
All good ideas. A page on meta to synthesize this might be a good idea. I especially like the idea of a quarterly newsletter.
