Hi!

I'm not sure how it happened, but for a while I've been the main maintainer of the Wikimedia Planet: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia

The Wikimedia Planet is a bunch of RSS feeds that aggregate posts from various blogs in several languages that are related to Wikimedia in one way or another. Some people think that RSS is an outdated technology, but there are also quite a lot of people, including myself, who beg to disagree, and find RSS readers more convenient and nicely organized for getting news updates than social networks or algorithmic aggregators. (I used Google Reader and then I switched to Feedly; there are many other RSS readers.)

It's not so *bad* that I'm the main maintainer because there's very little work to do and it's actually quite fun. Nevertheless, it's not very good that I'm practically the only one, because sometimes maintenance requests can get stuck for months, and there's also that whole notion of [[Bus factor]].

So, if anyone is interested in joining me in this *very easy and fun* effort, please just take a look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia and try addressing the current requests (there are very few of them). And then check the same page once a month or so. If you know how to use Git, then you have all the necessary skills to do it. If you don't know Git, I'll be happy to teach you the necessary basics—it's not as difficult and scary in 2021 as it was in 2011. Just contact me off-list.

Thanks :)
