Hi,
For what it's worth, a few months ago, partly at my instigation, we
set up the foundation-news-l list, which was originally to announce
the publication of the Quarto - possibly with a pared down version of
its content in a html email, but this idea was booed quite loudly off
the wikipedia-l list. However, we haven't yet got around to doing
anything about it or defining it specifically, other than labelling it
"news from the wikimedia foundation". See:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-news-l

Would it be an idea to use this mailing list for the purpose you
propose, or just in a more general way? I'm cross-posting this to the
quarto-l list to see what people there think.
