Hello there,
What I would suggest you do is join the mailing list and then if something comes up you will be made aware of it. Also, it would be great if you could provide me with the following information for our membership roster: your real name, username on meta, IRC nickname if you have one, your e-mail address, languages that you speak, areas of interest in communications and a brief Wikimedia and real life profile of yourself.
Look forward to hearing from you soon,
Sean

Dear Wikimedians,
The Communication Projects Group or ComProj was set up some months ago to provide a venue for collaboration between Wikimedians who want to help with communication work. We do all sorts of things: preparation of PR material, reaching out to specific groups to get them involved in our projects, and encouraging inter-project communication.
While the group was started up by Sandra Ordonez, the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications Manager, it could in its present form have been started up by any Wikimedian - Sandy is always there to offer guidance but she has made it clear she is not in charge and wants the group to run itself. We do that.
How we work is that communication projects are put forward on our mailing list, and people can volunteer to take them on in groups or individually. These can come from all members and, unsurprisingly, Sandy and Cary Bass, Wikimedia's volunteer co-ordinator at the office. We also have weekly IRC meetings to discuss our projects.
At the moment we are struggling for members due to August dragging many people away. Projects are not getting done as fast as they should be and we could really do with more members. So, if you have an interest in communications, please drop by http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Membership. All that we require is that you are willing to put a decent amount of time into our projects, prioritising it amongst your other valuable work.
Please distribute this to individual project mailing lists that I may not be subscribed to, as ComProj is not just for Wikipedia.
Yours, Sean Whitton ComProj chair
