Hi,

We were missing a way to notify tech contributors and volunteers about new activities, and after some discussion we have decided to recycle the unused

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-announce

Subscribers will receive CALLS FOR ACTION ONLY e.g. for activities like the ones listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Calendar. No announcements of new releases, features removed, etc.

We have channels already for that.

We will sync the announcements at wikitech-announce with with wikitech-l and wikitech-ambassadors.

While this is not a big deal for current contributors following already wikitech-l and a number of wiki pages etc, it will help potential volunteers willing to get involved and know about opportunities to contribute.
