Hello all, I've been thinking about how WMUK can communicate better with
our community and let Wikimedians communicate with each other. I've heard
from some community members that they were a little disappointed that
people were no longer using the Water Cooler page for discussions.
I'd like to propose some different options and ask if you have any other
suggestions about how you'd like to communicate with us and others in the
community. So I've put a poll on Twitter
<https://twitter.com/wikimediauk/status/766703544275767297> with some
options for communications channels. I couldn't put more than four options,
so I chose Facebook, the Water Cooler, Slack and the Mailing List.
I'd really appreciate if you could take the time to vote which one you'd
prefer or reply here or to the Tweet with any other suggestions for how
you'd like to communicate with us.
What I'm really keen to communicate are the opportunities for our community
to engage with us, propose projects, receive funding and other assistance
from WMUK. To this end, it would be good to have an open channel or
discussion group of some kind where we can respond to your ideas and allow
you to ask us questions about our work. We'd like to be as open as the
knowledge we promote, so please let us know your views about how we can do
that better.
Have a great weekend!
