From time to time I was asking people to fill the page
[1], so we may
be able to make a bot for community news. I think now that better
idea
is to make something like "Project:Community news" page (with
translation in all languages) at every project. However, this needs
asking every particular community. And I suppose that this is the part
of ComProj's job :)
I could make a bot which would be used by writing new section at the
Meta page by specific group of people (I suppose, again, by some
ComProj's members). The bot will check every hour is there any news
and is it written by particular user. If so, bot would resend that
message to all (specified) projects.

I've created a new page,
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/logo>, and would like to draw
attention to it from people who have been active in the discussions as
well as including anyone who may be interested via the local projects'
village pumps.
So, this is where Comproj comes in... getting the message out that we're
looking for interest in this project. Thanks!
We might want to get some nice bot owner to spam a message to all the
village pumps[1] (but send it to only the Wikipedias), something along
the lines of [2] maybe?
CC'ing to two possible bot owners that could help, Misza13 because of
his MiszaBot and Millosh (this is similar to his "Hello world!"
project).

By the way,
I'm interested in doing a roundtable interview episode for the podcast with several
people elected to the committees of various of our different chapters - to discuss what
issues every chapter is facing, and what is unique about each one.
Might want to ask someone to forward this message to internal-l
(chapters people are on there)[3].
