Re: [Wikimedia-l] Link to Wikimedia Shop now included in theEnglish Wikipedia sidebar

I know the link has been up through last year and possibly even longer. The 
hooded sweatshirt sure has kept me warm through the past couple of winters. I 
certainly wish they would expand the product line. Slim pickings. I've always 
wondered why the WMF has chosen to limit the offerings. I think they should 
open it up to the community and ask people what they want. And find a different 
vendor for the luggage/bags. In my opinion, they appear low in quality, yet 
high in price.

We agree with you, Cynthia, and are planning to expand the product line
very soon.  We are currently looking to hire a new member of the
fundraising team to lead the store, so if you know anyone with talent in
this area, please send them my way. :)

So glad to hear the sweatshirt has been keeping you warm! The shop will be
expanding its product line in march, to include mugs, a new polo shirt, and
a few other items over the coming months. Point taken about the Timbuktu
bags; we can look into what else is available on the market. We really
value suggestions like these and welcome you to offer them on the talk page
on Meta as well https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_merchandise

And thanks Nemo for the VP reference, much appreciated.

A public design contest would be fun.  Also a call for the best swag
that people have seen and used at events (most of which, from
postcards to paperclips to beanbags, we don't offer in the store).
And perhaps limited use of 99designs or similar services to come up
with additional new and interesting designs.

Wanted: A translucent umbrella showing the top 1/3 of the wikiglobe
:-)And packs of Wikidata-style ruled, colored paper.
