Hi all,
I'm curious what folks here think about making some noise about the two most recent additions to the Wikimedia family around January or February. Wikivoyage is still finishing up the beta phase (image transfers, logo import etc.) this month, and Wikidata isn't live as a repository yet -- but we could set a target date that would work for both projects.
What I'm imagining is an actual banner on Wikimedia projects announcing the launch of both Wikivoyage and Wikidata, pointing to a landing page explaining what these projects are, how to participate, etc. That page could be drafted on Meta. Then interested folks would visit the projects to learn more and get involved.
Wikimedia projects obviously have an enormous reach and I think this could help create awareness and build community -- but it could also be an unwelcome influx in the early stages. This could be regulated by running a banner only for logged in users, or x% of readers.
Thoughts?
Erik
