Description
Event Timeline
While Wikimedia Space might be nice too as a supplement, it's still a niche platform, and the vast majority of potential Wikimedians interested in this project do use email. I can think of two dozen people to invite to a mailing list, and very few of those would be active Wikimedia Space users.
Can we create it this week? This will be a vital tool in building up community discussion and participation, and we want to do a kind of public launch for the project at a wikiconference in November.
List has been created
list info page: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikispore
admin login: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/wikispore
@Pharos @Tgr I let it create a random password at list creation. That mail went just to Pharos. Then i added Tgr as the secondary admin and reset the password. That mail went to both of you. So that second password is the right one you can now share to login at the admin interface. It's not a separate one per user, so keep that in mind when changing it.
Besides the list description and admin field i left all settings at default. Please change them as you see fit. You can change all kinds of things, even the HTML of the listinfo page if you want.
