I love the idea! It makes newcomers immediately feel welcomed and valuable
for the community. Also it helps us to listen to them. I really hope that
maybe we could start something similar on Polish Wikipedia.

Sounds great. If en.WP do this as part of The Signpost, it would have
a high level of reach, immediately. Same with Wikidata's weekly
update.
Heh. I think back to when I first started editing. I would have been
completely freaked out at that level of "notice" and would never have
edited again.
