What's the Weekly Wiki?

It's an informal meeting/workshop/get-together, in which we can (once a week) expect to be able to interact with other Citizens in something closer to real-time. So you can announce your new articles; request help with articles; ask questions about policy or the software; introduce proposals; generally chat; etc.

When?

Wednesdays when there's no Write-a-Thon, at:

  • Wednesday UTC 0900 (= 7 PM Sydney)
  • Wednesday UTC 1800 (= 7 PM London, 8 PM Paris)
  • Thursday UTC 0100 (= Wednesday 6 PM California, 9 PM New York)

We'll say that the Weekly Wiki happens for two hours beginning at each of those times, but anytime Wednesday, you can write on the Weekly Wiki page.

Pow-wow here

What time is it now where? --Larry Sanger 03:00, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'll be back in an hour. --Larry Sanger 03:05, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'll be about during the day, hopefully will add one or two articles somewhere. Denis Cavanagh 03:46, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

One thing I've been trying to think of a way to do is to motivate people to work on the more in-demand topics, essential concepts and basic jargon, and also top-level articles about disciplines and subdisciplines. Can we brainstorm a little about that? --Larry Sanger 04:04, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'm probably going to spend some time working on philosophy today (harder since I don't have immediate access to my philosophy books)--if you, especially non-philosophers, want to take a look and give me some brief advice about how to make that clearer and more interesting, I would love that. --Larry Sanger 04:04, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
