Hi all,
we are about to prepare the April issue of the monthly Wikimedia Highlights (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Highlights ), which as usual combines a few of the most notable aspects of the Wikimedia Foundation report and the Wikimedia engineering report with a brief selection of other important events in the Wikimedia movement. For the latter part, suggestions are welcome at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Highlights#Movement_news_item... until this Saturday, as are comments on the existing suggestions:
*Israel edit-a-thon *Oregon Archives mass upload *Monmouthpedia Charles Rolls Challenge concluded *CCCB workshop *Wikipedians in Residence updates? *Tamil contest *HighBeam collaboration
A main purpose of the format is to reach those Wikimedians who don't follow international movement news regularly (for example, don't read this mailing list), in particular for language reasons. All items are kept brief and limited in number - in the movement news section to three to five - so as to facilitate translations and avoid TLDR. The Highlights are regularly translated into up to 12 languages, the last edition into Russian, Dutch, Macedonian, Italian, French, Arabic and Danish.
And again this month, suggestions are welcome for the most notable or interesting news items from the Wikimedia universe (outside the scope of WMF's own monthly report), for the upcoming May "Wikimedia Highlights", at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Highlights#Movement_news_item... until Sunday morning UTC, or also comments on the existing suggestions:
*Trustees for chapter-selected Board seats nominated and confirmed *WikiWomenCamp 2012 *GLAM activities in Africa (and related to Africa)
Thanks!
