Does anybody here know someone in one of those other chapters? I'd like to start a discussion to see what has worked, what hasn't, and why, in other countries.

Try visiting the chapter pages on meta: and leaving notes for chapter members on their user pages. Ryo and Kurt and Frieda, from France and Germany and Italy, should be glad to answer questions.

Oscar (from the Netherlands) and Fantasy (from Italy) are also a lot of fun to talk to, and would appreciate your interest.

Also, any progress towards getting our own Wikimedia mailing list?

Done. You should be the list-admin. Everyone else can sign up with their preferred email address here:
