Mailing lists/Wikimedia Announce/bn

Visit the subscription page to be added to the WikimediaAnnounce-l list.

WikimediaAnnounce-l is a moderated, email list distribution system for notable updates and reports from representatives of the world-wide Wikimedia movement. This includes the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia movement affiliates, and occasionally individuals or groups of volunteers. It is the primary, recommended, publicly archived dissemination mechanism for news and updates across Wikimedia.

Use

Wikimedia Announce is not an open, public discussion list. The intention is to provide a simple, opt-in, subscription-based list where people can be rapidly notified of timely announcements and upcoming events, and where the traffic is lower than on discussion lists like Wikimedia-l. All postings to WikimediaAnnounce-l should also be posted to the Wikimedia-l mailing list.

For public discussion of the topics announced on the list, use Wikimedia-l or other relevant mailing lists. If you respond to an email distributed through the list, your email will be directed to the Wikimedia-l mailing list.

Examples of posted information include:

• Press releases from the Wikimedia Foundation or chapters
• Wikimedia Foundation reports
• Wikimedia movement affiliate reports
• Participation announcements for global Wikimedia meet-ups such as Wikimania
• Information about other events around the world of significance to the Wikimedia movement
• Major announcements about technology implementation on our projects
• নির্বাচন বা ভোট সম্পর্কিত সংবাদ
• Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees communications
• Important new blog posts from the Wikimedia Blog or other Wikimedia-related blogs
• Publication of new issues of The Signpost, Wikizine, and other community newsletters
• New Wikimedia Foundation partnerships
• New members of the Wikimedia Foundation Leadership team
