Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin: an experiment[edit]
Dear all,
We invite your feedback on improving communication from and about the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is an experiment to establish a more standardised format and cadence which would include headlines and links from the Wikimedia Foundation's technical work, and also work with communities, and affiliates as well as other stakeholders like readers, donors, regulators, the media and the public.
Please find here a page on Meta with a short overview of the concept itself: Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin. The first “trial” issue is here.
Your feedback is welcome on the concept itself, but of course, details and suggestions on anything from the design to specific words used would also be helpful!
You can subscribe to the bulletin via talk page delivery on any Wikimedia wiki. Based on your feedback, a potential commitment to this form of communication would be planned for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
As this is an experiment, we are interested to check the reception, what is missing, what is too much, and whether this is something to consider investing more time and effort into. But if you like this experiment and want to share it with your community, by all means, do translate it and post it where appropriate on your wiki, and let us know how it was received on the talk page or email askcac
You also can come and give your feedback at the next Conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees on 27 June at 18:00 UTC.
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee,
