Thank you! Do you think it would be possible somehow to receive the actual content, either by RSS (preferred) or by email (fine as well)? Here, I'm getting an email with only a link to a newsletter with only a link to the actual content. That's two levels of indirection with little information on what the notification is about, nor any way to easily keep the content at hand for reading later. We had a discussion about the ambassadors' announce format a few months ago (was it with Benoît or Johan? I think Benoît, but I'm not sure) and I already underlined how the mailing-list and RSS formats currently in use were great for people who have to deal with hundreds of notifications per week. I understand that this would mean more work for whoever writes the newsletter and that the mediawiki newsletter extension may not yet provide a way to send more content than just a title, so I'd be perfectly fine with a negative answer. I just want to draw attention to the the added cost to access the information. Thanks again and best regards, -- Jérémie _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
