Hi,
About some 8 months ago I started with an attempt to bring news with a newsletter "Wikizine". I try to bring different types of news like "Foundation", "Community", "Media" , "Technical news" and so.
So I try to bring the news for the Wikimedia family. And that includes Wiktionary.
I am writing this fist of all to ask for your cooperation with this newsletter. To be able to report news first the news must be known.
Wiktionary is a project where I am not at home. If no one reports what is going on there it is not likely I will find out about it. And especially if it is going on other Wiktionary language editions.
So I request that if there is news about your project, especially for the non-English editions, that you would report the news to me, to Wikizine. Let the readers of Wikizine know there is more then Wikipedia.
A way to make it more likely that someone will think about Wikizine is to put a banner on your userpage or even better on a public page and also for the non-English Wiktionary versions.; http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikizine/banners
On the other side I try to get the news downhill to as most of the projects and especially languages as possible. Because of piratical reasons Wikizine can only be in English. But it would be fantastic if people would be willing to translate the news and share it with there community.
A total translation of Wikizine is great but also a lot of work. Maybe only translating the most relevant news can be einghoud for starting. You could work together across the different projects in the same languages. By cross-project cooperation the work of translation can be shared.
Just only subscribing to Wikizine only is also useful of course. Then you at least are informed.
Reading Wikizine can by email. Just click here below and follow the instructions; mailto:request@wikizine.org?subject=subscribe
Or you can also read Wikizine from the website; http://www.wikizine.org
Thank you for reading this and I hope to receive some news from Wiktionary!
Greetings, Walter
