Hi,

We were missing a way to notify tech contributors and volunteers about
new activities, and after some discussion [1] we have decided to recycle
the unused

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-announce

Subscribers will receive CALLS FOR ACTION ONLY e.g. for activities like
the ones listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Calendar. No
announcements of new releases, features removed, etc. We have channels
already for that.

We will sync the announcements at wikitech-announce with with wikitech-l
and wikitech-ambassadors.

While this is not a big deal for current contributors following already
wikitech-l and a number of wiki pages etc, it will help potential
volunteers willing to get involved and know about opportunities to
contribute.
