I have to say, whenever I make a presentation of Wikimedia and mention
sister projects, all I get is blank stares. It really makes sense to
focus on Wikipedia in outreach activities.
Um… no. That means it really makes sense to talk about the sister projects more than just
mentioning them, as they are clearly in more need of outreach than Wikipedia with that
audience…
Of course I haven't meant that I just list them; I say a couple of
sentences about every one of them.
I often briefly describe the sister projects when
I'm doing Wikipedia outreach - and quite often see people making comments on twitter
etc. as a result about how they didn't know about a particular project, and were going
to take a look at it (and hopefully go on to contribute to it…)
Apparently we had different audiences.
