From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Foundation news:   Press releases · Reports · Mailing list summaries · Foundation blogs +  

This page lists status reports from across the Wikimedia projects. Started by elian in 2004 to gather reports from Wikipedia and sister Projects, it now also serves as a portal for reports from subprojects, chapters, and parts of the Foundation itself.

If you are active in a project, chapter, or initiative, please take the time to see if there's a recent report from your project, and add a few sentences about it or a link to the local project news pages if there is not. Thank you.  :)

• You can write a report in whatever language you please, though a rough translation into English is recommended. If you don't know English well enough, please ask a translator.
• Please sign reports with a link to your user page on meta or a local project.

Suggestions about what to write:

• For a project - How many new articles were written? - Who and how many people became sysops? - Have there been important policy changes or polls? - What are the most pressing problems? - Are there important events/meetings/press coverage?
• For an event or meeting - What was covered? Was there an agenda? - Who attended? - What were the outcomes? - Are there plans for a followup?
