Something that can be done for MakeICT from home

The wiki accessible at wiki.makeict.org is going to need a considerable amount of revision due to relocating.

There already exists a category for ‘needs update’, but a customized category for something like ‘needs update’ due to new location’ might make sense.

A lot of uninteresting updates were needed before the move anyway, so those could also be worked on.

I suggest if you are new to wiki editing that you create some test pages, try out things like page formatting, adding images, tables, and how categories work.

Honestly though, no matter what you mess up, reverting is easy, so trying on live pages is not a bad thing.

The wiki has links at the bottom of the main page http://wiki.makeict.org/wiki/Main_Page to help you get started.

Could we have a Zoom or other type Meeting to help facilitate this? Other makerspaces are having online check-in with their group s I think this would be a great start.

We should be having meetings regularly IMHO. Just not all together in the same room.

In my opinion, a meeting is not appropriate. Any slides from a previously held class or seminar could be made available. Combined with using our existing forum, for general questions, and the talk pages within the wiki, for questions specific to an article.

Meetings tend to lead to committees which lead to plans and leaders. None of which are encouraged in wikidom. Also, those people who have irregular hours are totally suited to work on wki pages and totally unsuited for a scheduled meeting.

My opinions and experience only. Not trying to claim any authority or leadership.

Oh I meant meetings in general. Not for wiki specifically.

I’ll explain in our next face to face. Are you free July 18 2023?
