Suggested retweet from @mediawiki: https://twitter.com/techreview/status/583613623504764929 (too specialized for the other accounts, but our developer community should find this quote interesting)

Also, for the record, I just sent this out with Ori's input: https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/585186967685619712 (the job ad was already tweeted from @wikimediaatwork a while ago, but applications are still welcome, so it doesn't hurt to put it out again with a more interesting wording ;)

Proposed RT from @wikipedia and @wikimedia: https://twitter.com/subhapa/status/614297884721217536 (suggested by Subha via DM; I understand there are no other communications plans currently to highlight the launch of this new Wikipedia) -- Tilman Bayer Senior Analyst Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB _______________________________________________ Social-media mailing list Social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media

the vast majority of our audience would have no idea what this is. Agree that it is appropriate for @mw - seems less so for @wp

set of apps?
