[Foundation-l] leaflets

[Ziko van Dijk]

I got the German Wikisource flyer from the German office in Frankfurt in
February. Looks very good, although I would'nt cite Barbara Tuchman
(polarizing and less known in Germany) or Jimmy Wales in English,
untranslated (and unknown to the greater public, without explanation).

The questions are: for who exactly is the flyer for, at what occasion I give
it to the target group, and what action is expected. This flyer, for
example, is directed to volunteers and stresses out that every can
collaborate who is interested in old books and texts.
