Hi Dan.

I'll be frank. I think your request is not really reasonable. We have 
more than 100 languages. 8 projects. Thousands of editors. You can not 
expect Angela to go put messages one by one in possibly 300 village 
pumps. If you do expect that we do that, I suggest that we add a couple 
of full time employees to do so on the Foundation budget.

The "cheap" option is that everyone here makes an effort to ensure the 
information is spread everywhere.

Editors are not informed ? {{sofixit}} Here is the link to do so :

Please help.
