Thanks for your thoughts, Shani. I see you already submitted an article to
the newsroom. Thanks for that! I've added the input box and also left space
for the community to submit manually. If we like the input box after giving
it a test run we can keep it :). For February feel free to use either
method.
cheers,
Nichole

both volunteers
reporting their news and volunteers running / managing the newsletter.

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are having an excellent week :)
As many of you might know, the newsletter is going back to monthly
issues! We will publish the next issue at the end of February. I collected
and incorporated your feedback in the new version. It will focus on
sharing: your ideas, stories, success and challenges. We encourage you to
submit an article for the Feb issue!
The new version will also include a featured topic, that we hope the
community will engage with us in discussing.
This month's featured topic is: Overcoming challenges. What is one
significant challenge you’ve faced in planning, implementing or evaluating
an education program? Participate in the discussion here
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/featured_topic>.
There is also one more thing we’d like your feedback on. It has been
suggested that we switch to an input box to collect stories for the
newsletter. This is similar to how drafts are collected for the Wikimedia
Blog. You can see the input box in action here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog>. An example of how it
could work for us is here
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:NSaad_(WMF)/testing>.
Thoughts? This would make it easier for the newsletter volunteers to move
articles into the main newsletter.
Thank you all for your contributions to this great Wikimedia education
community.
All the best,
Nichole
