Wikimedia Commons is proposing that April becomes a Month of Kindness. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Votes,_mon...
The pandemic is affecting everyone and is likely to be very stressful for many. This proposal aims to remind everyone throughout April to make extra efforts to be kinder in their interactions, making our Wikimedia project a kinder and more supportive space as our default.
Do any other projects fancy joining this initiative?

What a great idea! Thakn you for sharing. We could also strongly encourage shutting down most bitey aspects of tools and scripts.
This can be a nice sanity check to see if we discover, as wikihow did, that talking to people by hand rather than via cold template increases participation significantly over time. ///S

More generally, is it a good time to encourage more people to start editing the projects? Presumably people have a lot more free time at the moment if they are off work / not spending time on commutes / not socialising / etc.
Thanks, Mike
