50th edition of Wikizine

Posted by Angela Beesley on November 14, 2006 (Milestones, Wiki, Wikimedia, Wikipedia)

So many milestones; China, the Commons, and now Wikizine. Wikizine has published its 50th newsletter. If you want a short summary of the most important goings on across Wikimedia, I strongly recommend that you subscribe to Wikizine by email or RSS. Walter Vermeir does a great job of gathering wiki news from a range of sources including mailing lists, blogs, IRC, and the wikis themselves. His weekly publication has an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

If you have longer, read the Wikipedia Signpost as well. Also published weekly, this has eight sections with summaries of bug fixes, arbitration cases, Wikipedia in the news, new admins, featured articles, and other important information for the Wikipedia community.

If you prefer your news in audio, listen to Wikipedia Weekly - a great podcast led by Tawker and Fuzheado for everyone involved with Wikipedia. In the first few episodes, they’ve covered advertising on Wikipedia (which I’m predicting will happen before the end of 2007), Citizendium (which I’m predicting will fade into obscurity before the end of 2007), Wikimedia Local Chapters, and all of the latest project news, including a look at Wikipedia’s most read articles.
