[Foundation-l] Comparison of new user welcome efforts across projects

[Mohamed Magdy]

Thanks for bringing that up to our attention, it is indeed a forgotten 
place!. also thanks for that table, it should help. but as you said, 
simple welcoming message is essential concentrating on the most 
important aspects. and yes, yours are designed specifically for commons 
place as it seems. especially the 'how to' change language. another 
thing, you should include a semi-protected template in 
MediaWiki:Welcomecreation page. as I have seen, a lot of registered 
users can be creative and yields great results.
