this, just want to make sure everyone knows about these two
pages for announcements and goings-on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Goings-on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Goings-on
Not to mention the other sidebar-linked page, Wikimedia News!
That is part of the problem. When there are several WikiMedia news
channels the compete whit there self. There should be one source page
whit WikiMedia wide news. That page can be translated by all the
WikiMedia wikis who care.
That page should be
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_News
It's setup is easy. A date and some news. That is easy to translate. I
do it for NL. The setup of "goings-on" is not so good for translating.
To complicated.
"Wikimedia News" should include to news no on "Meta goings-on". Also
now
there is a lot of non-news on "Wikimedia News". Wikipedia is now so big
it is no news anymore that some wikipedia now has X articles. That type
of news should be limited as much possible to big steps of a wiki. A new
wiki, the first 10 000 articles, 100 000 articles, 500 000 arcticles, ..
The Announce-l list is a good idea. I (know as "Giskart" in those days)
have done a attempt to use it some years ago without succes.
See;

Maybe the time is there now for this. But but for it to work people need
to be disciplined enough to send the information to the correct list the
correct way.
Now I see on Wikipedia-l still a lot of postings that should be on
WikiEN-l. Even this tread does not belong here. The stuff about the
Arbitration Committee is for wikiEN-l and talk about inter WikiMedia
communciation is for Foundation-l
