Hi Johan, I want to thank you for the great work on Tech News. In particular with regards shoving short description sentences for each feature that is affected, and use of simple language. This is an underestimated talent and it’s very important here.
Are there others routinely involved with this aspect that I may thank as well? — Timo On Tue, 26 Jun 2018 at 00:12, Johan Jönsson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The latest technical newsletter is now available at < > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2018/26>. > Below is the English version. > > You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about > Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you > can add it to the next newsletter at < > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next>. > > More information on how to contribute is available at < > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute>.
