Thank you for the suggestion. Do you (or someone you know) want to maintain that? We can talk. I'm posting relevant news to identi.ca, Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Currently I feel only Twitter Facebook pays off (looking at the outcome and forgetting about other reasonings). Still, I'm happy working with these 4 - even more happy if someone would want to step in and help. No plans to take a 5th so far, unless there is a way to automate the process and someone willing to pay attention to potential feedback in that new channel. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Let's get into details at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Social_media not to bother the entire list. Start a thread with your proposal or questions and I will follow. And since you are reading this, what about signing up (or at least endorse) MediaWiki Group Promotion? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals/Promotion ( was Marketing, but we just renamed it) This will be the group where we will coordinate our social media work, among other things. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
