I like what's been written already on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Australia/Brochure
But here's my idea for a general layout.. maybe it's too long.
TItle:
"Wikimedia Australia: Knowledge for all Australians"
Contents:
Wikimedia overview:
Wikipedia and other web sites, Popularity, Licensing, Not-for-profit status
About Wikimedia Australia:
Our mission
Our programs: Auslan dictionary, Wikipedia in indigenous languages,
scholarships, research funding, involvement with schools, community
events, collaboration with learning institutions.
(Maybe we should work out what we're actually doing before making a
brochure, but hey, whatever, can leave out our programs for now.
Probably only enough room for bullet points anyway)
Australian Wikipedians:
Spotlight on two or three people who contribute to Wikimedia projects
(and you can too)
(i.e. instead of saying "You can edit!", have a few words from people
who do edit it, encouraging others to copy them).
URLs:
www.wikimedia.org.au
(should there be others?)
Paper insert:
listing upcoming public activities
Membership options
Detachable membership form
Lastly, I don't know how other people feel, but I'm not a huge fan of
Jimmy Wales quotes. If people disagree with me, I won't start a flame
war and I know he's a co-founder, but I don't see Jimmy Wales taking
on a leadership role for WMA, or being much of a role model, so I'd
rather have an Australian perspective, or at least a less cheesy
quote.
