Naoko,
We're actually still figuring out the right way to use the centralnotice for
advertising events. We're concerned about not overwhelming particular events, but
also with making sure that the word gets out - it's a bit of a balancing act.
Point taken, and that is primarily I'd like to get you involved. All
of us would like to make a balance I suppose.
One thing I haven't mentioned on the list is ... a concern if
advertising WP focusing events on other projects. There would be
various opinions, but giving a thought on this issue for hours, I
reached a conclusion it would be much better than holding such events
without inviting other project participants (like me). The latter
could be more insulting.
Once we've figured out the best way to go about doing that (and we'd appreciate
any suggestions), we'll start putting a process into place.
Do you have any timeline? The earliest events (not of ours) will be
held in less than a month and everyone is rushing into holidays ...
Centralnotice is like a cannon... we don't want to direct a notice at millions of
people, if the party isn't ready for the potential end result.
Sure, but if I didn't mentioned (uh-oh and it was very likely ....
then sorry), we at WiKansai are mainly interested in making a limit
using CN thanks to geotarget: jawiki users are not only living in
Japan. I suppose it might be much more concerns in language projects
whose languages are more widely spoken beyond border of one country.
Cheers,
pb

Hi everyone,
A quick announcement: we are temporarily turning off the fundraising banners for most
logged in users. This will continue most likely through the end of the year. We did some
quick checking and realized that most people who are logged in and intend to give have
already given. The banners will stay off for a while, and we'll most likely not turn
them on until after the first of the year for a final wrap-up push.
So will they come back after New Year's Day?
For those of you in chapter areas, as always, the chapters control messaging in their
territories - this should only impact users who are in the areas where the fundraiser
messaging is controlled by the Foundation.
That said, although we at WiKansai are no chapter, we are organizing a
WikiX event coming very soon - being held on January 22, and aiming to
publicize it using CentralNotice. I don't know what comes when two
kinds of banners are put through CN,
but anyway arrangement would be necessary, although my latest mail
asking for such arrangement with Foundation hasn't been replied yet.
Cheers,
Enjoy the respite :)
Philippe
