I would like to remind those of you who are bloggers to consider joining Planet Wikimedia, which has grown nicely in recent weeks:
http://en.planet.wikimedia.org/ (Polish also active, German about to go live)
It shows recent wiki-tagged posts from Wikimedians on one page. You can add your blog by putting a request for inclusion on:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia
Included blogs should tag their wiki-related posts, or be exclusively about the topic. This policy has made Planet Wikimedia, in my opinion, highly on topic and useful, and I would love to see it scale to hundreds of blogs eventually. Hence, no exceptions. ;-)
For those of you from smaller projects: Think of this as an excellent opportunity to promote the best work your project is doing, to get new people excited about it. As an example of this principle, take a look what some English Wikinewsies are doing in the "Original Reporting" group blog: http://wikinewsreports.blogspot.com/
If you don't have a blog yet, you can set one up easily, e.g. at: http://wordpress.com/ or http://blogger.com
What do wikiversity members feel about a blog? We could have one for the entire project and allow people to post wiki-related info, aggregated to Planet Wikimedia.

You can also add yourselves to the unofficial Open Wiki Blog Planet. Open is less filtered, so feel free to add your full feed :-) There's also blogs from other wikis, e.g. Citizendium and ValueWiki.
http://open.wikiblogplanet.com/
Anyone with an account on en:wp at least four days old can add themselves here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nickj/open-wikiblogplanet-config.ini
(If you don't have an en:wp login, then put it on talk, or list yourself for inclusion on Planet Wikimedia and someone will add your feed to open as well.)
