the fork, Wikimedia Foundation support for projects other than  
Wikipedia, and the nature of Wikinews.

[Babel on all Wikis] - There are a great deal of templates and signs  
that one can put on there user page. One of the most useful are the  
Babel-templates that indicate the knowledge of different languages.  
Now is there an extension active on all wikis for that. No need to  
manually setup all those templates on all wikis. The structure is  
easy; see the excellent blog posting of Mister Internationalisation  
himself - Gerard Meijssen.
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/09/21/babel-extension-live-on-the-wmf-projects/

[New mobile gateway] - There is a new mobile gateway active for the  
Wikipedias. The the other projects will follow. This is provided by  
new extension of MediaWiki 1.17, the software our wikis are using.  
This replaces the old mobile gateway.

Re-post:

Hi again folks,

We want to run another set of banners to recruit translators for the
fundraiser this week, in some areas overlapping with the WLM banners.

If it is alright with you we would like to do it the same way we did
previously, namely with a rough 25-75 split with the WLM banners, so
they are still shown. The banners will only run for logged-in users,
so anonymous users will not be affected.

The countries that will be affected are these:

[30 September] - The last day of the project Wiki Loves Monuments for  
this year is September 30th. So if you still have pictures of  
monuments, it is not yet to late to share them on Commons and maybe  
win a prize. Currently there are already more then 125,000 new  
pictures added to commons in this one month of Wikimedia Loves  
Monuments. Yes - 125,000 - that is correct. And ... one country is  
{{done}} -  Andorra has now 100% of the monuments photographed!
