Extension:Newsletter

The Newsletter extension provides a catalog of newsletters, announcement of new issues of newsletters, and an easy way to subscribe/unsubscribe. This extension is under development, and we have a test instance at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/

The team is formed mostly by volunteers, and we welcome new contributors. Our goal is to deploy this extension in Wikimedia. Check the ongoing work in our Phabricator workboard.
