You might have seen the "Welcome to Wikipedia" booklet (top item on here: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bookshelf/)
WMUK is planning to get some more of these printed as they're very useful at events. Before we start doing that I just wanted to ask if anyone here has any feedback on it as it stands. If you've been making use of them at universities / GLAMS etc and can think of ways to improve it, please let me know. Or indeed if you think it's great as is please let me know, as we are looking at making some changes before we order some.
Also if you have any requests or ideas for others leaflets/flyers/handouts or the like please shout, as there will probably be other things we can usefully produce.
And finally, if you have experience using Scribus and might be willing to do some light DTP to help make all of this work, please do drop me a line. :-)
I have created a page on the WMUK Wiki here: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Publications - or please feel free to email me.

Although it's difficult to find, there are a lot of comments (including some of mine) at < http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Welcome_to_Wikipedia_(Bookshelf)%3E that can be used to improve the booklet. It would be great for some of us to work together and get them implemented. It would also be interesting to hear members' comments on < http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Licensing_tutorial_en.svg%3E
