Hi everybody, We’re preparing for the September 2016 research newsletter and looking for contributors. Please take a look at: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WRN201609 and add your name next to any paper you are interested in covering. The publication schedule is a bit mixed up currently - there is a chance we will already need to get out this issue in the next few days; but if you prefer to take more time, feel free to mark your contribution for the subsequent October issue instead, which should come out toward the end of this month.
