I like this idea as it makes less work for me, theoretically ;-) (versus the theoretical option of me needing to also post to the proposed noticeboard). But, it still doesn't address one of my concerns (and it isn't your fault), from my comment on the proposal: I hoped those on -ambassadors could do much of the actual dissemination on the various 'pedias/projects because having someone local to the wiki, both in language and in expertise, is better at communicating what the real issues/changes will be for that community specifically, whereas I have to be fairly general for the exact opposite reasons (I'm English-only and not an expert in all the projects' methods/standards). I think the only way to address that is to have those on -ambassadors translate/localize (in more than just which language is being used) and post it on their local project's VPT (or equivalent). How the noticeboard proposal will affect me personally (vis a vis the weekly deployment highlights email): A) send the raw info to wikitech B) send a generalized version to -ambassadors C) send a ENWP-specific version to this noticeboard Versus what I do now/would do with your proposal: A) send the raw info to wikitech B) send a generalized version to -ambassadors Just my thinking on the issue as a whole, Greg -- | Greg Grossmeier GPG: B2FA 27B1 F7EB D327 6B8E | | identi.ca: @greg A18D 1138 8E47 FAC8 1C7D | _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
