These are fabulous - thank you! I absolutely agree that smaller (but interesting) lists would attract more people if they saw what sorts of discussions happen there. [the technical dump-processing list is one example...]

Dear all,

New list summaries for the past month: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/foundation-l-archives/2009_June_15-30 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/foundation-l-archives/2009_July_1-15

I swear I'll try to get back on a bi-weekly schedule. Note: If anyone wants to try their hand at summarizing some of the other lists, there are lots of low-traffic project lists that could gain a bigger audience if summarized.

Summary of the summary:

• license changes rolled out across all projects end of June;
• discussions about what Commons and Wikisource should be, as projects;
• two strategic planning hires (and a new open job) announced;
• new grant for Commons, new WMF financial plan and 3 new chapters;
• Wikitech discussions: templates, video codecs and browsers;
• lots of discussion about the NPG and GLAMs issues -- a special

section in this month's summary;

• miscellaneous: new sidebar donation buttons; grammar; Google

translate and image search; Wikipedians are grumpy; new Wikipedia language; new PhD thesis on WP; WP & NIH workshop; Wikimania & flu; how do you fully consult the community, anyway?
