The Teahouse on English Wikipedia has a guest profile page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests), although it's low traffic http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests I like the idea of a higher profile way to welcome newcomers to the community. Perhaps newcomers could be interviewed periodically in the Signpost.

Hi,
In the Hebrew Wikipedia there's a page [1] that highlights editors who recently became active - shows a short interview with them and welcomes them to the community in a nice way.
It's not so much a help and a support page like English Wikipedia, but more like a newsletter or a blog that describes newcomers, in a form of an regularly updating wiki page.
Is there anything like that in other projects and languages? (Not necessarily Wikipedia, of course.)
Thanks!
