Many thanks to Bence for running this very useful service. :-)
I wish it could be based on-wiki, but that would require quite a lot of work to import the posts and also to provide RSS feeds etc. - moving content between Wordpress and MediaWiki is sadly very difficult! It would take a very skilled bot operator and template expert to put together a workable on-wiki solution here.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Base,
- and 2) It is a service run by a busy individual volunteer who has
set up the site in his spare time, hoping it might be useful to some. (While the service is based on open source software, I cannot comment on whether there is any interest in porting it to MediaWiki. Especially as meta.wikimedia.org already exists and runs on the MW platform :) ). 3) The software the site runs on has no obvious way of paginating and archiving the content and the Wikimedia affiliates and the WMF create over 46 pages worth of communications content in a 10(?)-day period.
Hope the above helps, I do recommend using the Twitter (or e-mail newsletter) editions on slower connections, older computers and smaller resolution devices.
Best regards, Bence

Omg, why isn't it 1) on WMF servers 2) based on MediaWIki ? And why on Earth it's so large page. My browser started to lag badly while opening that page which is 46 A4 pages if we print it.

Hi all,
As we have been discussing communication and sharing of experiences at various sessions here at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin, I wanted to remind people of the chaptersplanet.org website i set up a few years ago that aggregates blog posts, reports and newsletters from the various affiliates and the WMF.
You can follow the site at chaptersplanet.org, or @chaptersplanet (http://twitter.com/chaptersplanet ) on Twitter.
The name is only a historical artifact -- if your group or organisations blog, newsletter, etc. is not represented yet (or has moved to a new location since I added it), please drop me a line.
Best regards, Bence
