[Wikipedia-l] Syndicated article a day queue idea

Sun Mar 30 23:54:53 UTC 2003

Below is the start of a thread on the possibility of having a syndicated 
article a day queue (sorry, I didn't have much time to write a real proposal 
for this but just wanted to float the idea by everyone):

Yo. could you bring up on wikipedia-L the idea of re-establishing something 
like "article a day queue," but with an rss feed that allows syndication, 
sending the first paragraph of 1 - 5 articles a day? maybe setting up 
voting/submission system to work out which articles to send, and making it 
multilingual? just some ideas. thanks, Koyaanis Qatsi 

Seconded, that's a great idea. --Brion 

be much easier for wiktionaries word of teh dya too. -fonzy 

We already have an article a day - A new day page is automatically displayed 
each day which in turn has many articles linked from it. I also add at least 
three new historical anniversaries onto the Main Page daily (and then there 
are the updates to the other parts of ==Selected Articles==). But the 
syndication idea would be most useful at promoting Wikipedia. Perhaps we 
could syndicate the whole ==Selected Articles== section? --mav
