Forum:Proposal: Wiki Newsletter

A sort of light-hearted idea: How about some sort of wiki newsletter? You put your username on a list, and every week or two you'll receive a talk page message containing things relevant to a certain time-span. For instance, there could be reminder for Weekly News guys to chime in on Sam's forum, and an update on a potential community event. I know there isn't a whole lot of stuff to be said that isn't already covered elsewhere, but it wouldn't have to be done regularly. Maybe even just like, once a month, to recap what all happened during that month in regards to the wiki itself.

Great idea, but

1. That could be a lot or a little amount of people.

2. Those who care about the newsletters are smart to check on their own, rather than just having it sent to them.

I would find it better to not do something that requires more time when it is already available for everyone to view. 50.174.59.8 00:35, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree with you. Depends on how much interest there is in the idea. Joe Copp  00:39, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

I already feel most things are covered in Weekly News, but I get where this could be going, and if it's like, a month whole reminder list of what did happen, that could work. Something like that. 00:41, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * If I could inquire onto that. I feel like a lot more relevant community news should be done in the weekly news. For example, how Sam did the community news this week was very funny and detailed, I wish we could do it like that but with more detail. Could make the news more interesting. 01:18, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

I am all for it. I can't see a problem with it. 01:12, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

True, but you have to think of the number of people who'd like the weekly/monthly newsletter. It could be more work than its worth if less than, say twenty people, want it. However, I do support a more descriptive monthly newsletter, as you said about Crazy Sam's newsletter. At this point in the idea, it's all about the audience who'd like the newsletter. I, for one, would like something like that, but only if a good amount of users want it. 50.174.59.8 05:08, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
