On Monday, May 30th (TOMORROW), at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear
Tomer Ashur talk about
How to Spread Knowledge Throughout the World While Wearing Only Your
Slippers (or Wikimedia, Wikipedia and free content projects)
Abstract
Since its first emergence in 2001, Wikipedia had grown drastically to
become the fifth most viewed website over the Internet in 2012. With
over 12,000,000 articles in more than 250 languages this is now the
largest source of information ever existed. The Wikimedia foundation has
been founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization to support Wikipedia
as well as other online and offline free content projects.
In this talk I will present Wikipedia and other projects of the
Wikimedia foundation and how they work. I will show how one can become a
Wikipedia editor and why would she want to do so. We will talk about
readers, editors, Neutrality, reliability, dispute resolution, style and
free content.
