Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here is our newsletter with activities during spring 2017.

  • On May 8th we will disperse six new accesses for Retriever. Are you interested? The first ones to sign up will get them; sign up on this page.
  • On May 9th there's a wiki meetup at Litteraturhuset (the House of Literature) in Oslo. The theme this time will be Wikipedia at its best – cooperation on good articles.
