Wikizine is a news letter. It is published (almost) every week. It tries to bring the most important news from the global Wikimedia family for everybody involved with Wikimedia.
The concept of Wikizine:
Wikizine is short so it does not take long to read.
If possible every topic is only a very short summary. There are URLs with more information.
Technical news is considered the most important news.
Most of the time, only news is included that is important or interesting for the larger Wikimedia community. News items that are only for a specific wiki is not included.
The target audience are sysops and higher, ambassadors, board members of the chapters
It is written in English but it is for people from many languages
It is hoped that the readers will spread the news that is relevant for their home-wiki to their local community and that they report news back upstream so it can be shared with the rest of the Wikimedia community
