Greetings, The Affiliations Committee is pleased to announce the recognition [1] of the MediaWiki Stakeholder's Group - a user group for "MediaWiki developers, admins, users, consultants, and hosting providers who cooperate in order to improve the software and advocate the needs of MediaWiki users outside the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and its projects." This group shows great promise and potential for helping organize folks who are interested in making MediaWiki even better and give a voice to the many non-WMF users of the software. So, now we have them joining the family of affiliates. Please, let's give them a warm welcome! More info about the group: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholder%27s_Group Congratulations! -greg aka varnent Vice-Chair, Affiliations Committee 1: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/MediaWik…

Great news! Finally a formal group focused in MediaWiki for third parties, within the Wikimedia movement. Autonomous and connected. Now the sky is the limit of the memebers of this group. :) PS: Stakeholder's or Stakeholders? On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 7:31 AM, Nurunnaby Hasive <nh(a)nhasive.com> wrote:

I cannot imagine fuzz will be made over that, whether it is official or not :) Lodewijk (not an affcom member any longer, so even more so a personal opinion :) ) On Nov 12, 2014 4:09 PM, "Mark A. Hershberger" <mah(a)nichework.com> wrote:

I did send Gregory an email shortly after he notified me that we were accepted when the problematic apostrophe was pointed out to me. We'd like to have the apostrophe removed, if possible.

We have updated everything to reflect the correct spelling. Although it sounds like now you'd like no apostrophe? -greg On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 10:18 AM, Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> wrote:

No worries - it happens. :) I apologize that we did not bring it up sooner. To be fair, someone on AffCom (Josh) did ask earlier and I'll admit, I thought at the time it was intentional so did not bring it up in our desire to get things approved for the group. I will make sure the updates are completed later today. -greg On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 10:24 AM, Mark A. Hershberger <mah(a)nichework.com> wrote:
