I was going to wait for other views. But the underlying, fundamental need is to have a vehicle for growing the involved UK community. Inviting brainstorming from this list misses that point, in my view. Those who are prepared to wade through the threads on this list are probably already quite involved. :Likewise those who are active on the GLAM front. The crying need is to get beyond preaching to the converted
Would it be feasible to deliver a WMUK newsletter the way the Signpost is delivered, i.e. to subscribers' talk pages in Wikipedia (and perhaps other projects)?
The WMUK website and mailing list are a bit of a walled garden. Visibility of a WMUK newsletter on talk pages in Wikipedia and other projects might get new people involved.
