[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Announcing the Fellowship News

[Maggie Dennis]

I haven't spoken to Siko about this at all (first I'm hearing about it),
but I imagine, Richard, that it will focus on the work being done on
fellowships by WMF Fellows.

Lodewijk, I think it would be great to have a newsletter about the cool
things people are doing around the Wiki World. :) If somebody chooses to
put something like that together, surely having material to incorporate
about Fellows would be useful? The content is freely licensed and can be
reused (and modified) like other material on the projects under the same
terms.
