en..org An independent internal news bulletin for the members of the Wikimedia community


 * Wikizine is a (nearly) weekly news letter. It attempts 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 it
 * If possible every topic is only a very brief summary with the URLs to more information about it
 * Technical news is considered the most important news
 * News is mostly only included if it is relevant or interesting for the larger Wikimedia community and not only for a specific wiki
 * The target audience are sysops and higher, ambassadors, board members of the chapters
 * It is written in English but it is for readers 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
 * It is POV. The POV of the editor-in-chief
 * Wikizine is small in the number of staff members and readers
 * Wikizine will never ever knowingly report lies
 * Wikizine makes no guarantee of validity
 * Wikizine considers itself an independent publication
 * Wikizine is not a publication of the Wikimedia Foundation
 * Wikizine is ugly and proud of it. Plain text only, distribution by email
 * Wikizine is available under the GNU Free Documentation License
