Hi all,
I can use some help!
Since last year I am helping with the publication of the newsletter *This
Month in Education* and I notice that we can use a lot more exposure.
Especially in the last few years a lot of user groups have been founded,
and in existing affiliations only limitedly stories are shared through the
newsletter. While in the core group of wiki education enthusiasts the
newsletter is known, we need to tell our story to a wider audience to
inspire as many Wikimedians and beyond in the world. I think we need to do
especially two things, which I am working on now.
First of all, we need to be able to find more easily through navigation on
Wikimedia platforms. To start with Meta, I created this page with some
basic information so people can more easily find the newsletter on Meta
too:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/About
Did I miss anything? Things that can be improved?
Secondly, we need to make more people in the movement aware of that the
newsletter exists AND that they can write for it. I have been thinking
about this for some time and came to the conclusion that a flyer to be
handed out at Wikimania and the Wikimedia Conference (and perhaps elsewhere
too) is a good way to spread awareness. Therefore I am working on a flyer
with on one side info about the *This Month in Education* newsletter, and
on the other side about the *This Month in GLAM* newsletter, bot community
driven newsletters. In the coming couple of days I think I have a first
version available and would like to have some feedback on it. Who wants to
help by reviewing the flyer and give feedback?
Thanks!
See you at Wikimania!
Romaine
