selfref For a welcome to Wikipedia, see Wikipedia Welcoming committee Welcome to Wikipedia . Unreferenced date September 2009 A welcommittee is usually a group of volunteers of an organization with the goal of reaching out to new members in a sort of Welcome Wagon approach. The word welcommittee is a portmanteau combining the words, welcome and committee. Among some United Kingdom residents, the word is sometimes shortened to welco . The term originated in the 1950s in science fiction fandom with the National Fantasy Fan Federation which still has an active welcommittee. Other notable fandom based welcommitees include the Star Trek Welcommittee started by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and the British Science Fiction Association . The concept also has been adopted by many host committees of various science fiction convention s as an outreach to those new to fandom. Although the welcommittee concept has a long history in fandom, with the advent of the Internet culture, term has evolved beyond the fandom subculture. A recent trend is for the term to be adopted by various wiki communities. In fact, Wikipedia s sister project, Wikinews has an active welcommittee.
