Hello, everyone.
I am pleased to announce, on behalf of Wikimedia Israel, that Israel Post (the Israeli monopoly postal service) will be stamping all items passing through several major post offices in Tel Aviv and in Haifa with a special *Wikipedia 10th Anniversary postmark*.
You can get an idea of what it might look like (Hebrew Wikipedians are still working on the design) here: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%9...
In addition to the anniversary, a _second_ special postmark will be stamped on all through Wikimania 2011, in August!

Is that correct?
Dedicated philatelists and stamp-collectors among you (and your respective communities) may want to make arrangements to have something postmarked. In addition, we'll try to have some stamped items to give away.
This cool way of marking the anniversary is the work of Wikimedia Israel member Liron Dorfman, who's done excellent outreach work with Israel Post.
Cheers, and happy holidays,
Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Israel

Any chance of Israeli chapter offering to send a postcard + postmark to anyone worldwide who donates over $(something)?
While most users aren't Hebrew speakers, it'll get noted on digg and other sites if there's suitable translations. Maybe overseas people will want, even if they already donated via fundraiser? It'll be quite special :)
