Wikipedia:WikipediaWeekly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Purpose: The purpose of Wikipedia Weekly is to produce a weekly netcast or podcast that provides an informative dose of audio information regarding Wikipedia and our fellow projects. Its unofficial off-wiki homepage is www.wikipediaweekly.org (this is done due to RSS limitations in MediaWiki)
| “ | It's an irony, because we're all so unbelievably verbal and we write so much that we can't communicate with each other... So it becomes a challenge to find a way that we can streamline communication. In fact I'm very excited about this podcast as one of those tools. If this podcast is entertaining and lots of people in the entire community, internationally and in many different projects listen to this, it gives us a central place to communicate news in an entertaining way. I think that's kind of cool." |

[edit] Spread WikipediaWeekly
This is our get listener campaign. The best podcast in the world is useless unless people download and listen to it. The role of this subproject is to get listeners by promoting the hell out of it.
We're listed on iTunes and I've submitted to directories but we need publicity... badly.
You can also help spread the podcast by voting for it on digg.com.
