Hi.

Are there any plans to broadcast this a bit more widely, particularly to
readers? I think using social media (the "wikimedia" microblogging account,
Facebook pages, etc.) to get banners or banner ideas from outside the
Wikimedia (editing) community would be great. There are a lot of creative
people who love Wikimedia projects. A few tweets or status updates calling
for banner submissions might go a long way... assuming people can figure out
Meta-Wiki.
