• Time Times I, Zginder, have started this the official newsletter of the project. This newsletter is part of the Time Times, which has been created to update our members on the latest news at the project and on time.
• This first posting is late because I did not even come up with the idea until 2008-03-08. In the future I plan to have it ready to publish before the month begins. (If anyone should do things on time on Wikipedia it should be us, no?)
• Article count over 800! By my count we now have 873 articles but, will have many more soon. Less than 200 are assessed though, plenty of work for us to do.
• Portal:Time now working thanks to Yamara.
• Project member count reaches 11 members! Keep inviting all your WikiFriends.
• Remember: The project is now accessible from new shortcuts, WP:TIME and WP:TIMEPRO.
• Project gets a new look thanks to Yamara, if you have not seen it yet stop on by.
