[Wikimedia-l] Invitation to WMF May 2013 Metrics and Activities Meeting: Thursday, June 6, 18:00 UTC

Fri Jun 7 21:36:41 UTC 2013

Hmm, I found the office hours helpful because those were theoretically all
relevant to me. The overview you're making is unfortunately more aimed
towards chapter offices etc, and includes a lot of events which are out of
reach anyway. Having an Overview of All has its merits, but it does mean I
will not include it in my google calendar because it would float the whole
thing too much.

Somehow it would be nice if there would be a menu selection option - what
kind of parts do you want to receive. But that is much harder to maintain I
guess...

> * dates: start (and if applicable) also end dates for activities,
