Hello all,
You might have heard of Wiki Loves Monuments, an event destined to

world. The 2011 edition is centered on Europe, but this is a movement
wide/worldwide event, and we'd like to have a

right now. Even if they are concerned in theory about overall community

As far as I know, the Wikimedia organizations up to now have never
undertaken serious steps to analyze and tackle aggressive behavior.
One idea would be to engage a social psychologist or therapist or

announcements about the topic of editor retention, I wanted to invite you
all to an IRC office hours on the 31st at 17:00 UTC.
