Hi, I agree with Sarah. Both the community, chapters and the @WeAreWikipedia account needs more diversity. I'm a white, West European, middle aged(?) male, working at a chapter (Wikimedia Sweden) and I'm running @WeAreWikipedia for the second time now. As I got asked to apply last weekend I doubt there is a huge crowd waiting to curate, so I recommend you to sign up, http://wearewikipedia.wordpress.com/take-part/.
Also recommending you to read the Storify Roberta Wedge put together, both the one about her week as curator ( https://storify.com/robertawedge/my-week-on-wearewikipedia) and the one with our (Wikimedia Sweden) blog with X-mas greetings and stupid ads ( https://storify.com/robertawedge/a-few-thoughts-on-gendergap-and-wikiwomen-etc ). (Don't be fooled by my face next to her tweets, it's a Storify embedding twitter issue. Next week someone else (you?) will be there.)
