[Foundation-l] Genuine, Generous, and Grateful

[Κωνσταντίνος Σταμπουλής]

There is also @el_wikinews bringing all the latest published articles.

I've tried to make @el_wikipedia to also publish the FA of the week (not so
many FAs in el.wikipedia) and 2-3 pieces from "in this day" but I
technically failed. I believe those would be much more interesting instead
of the article counter, so if anyone has a solution on how to do it please
help.
