A truly public mailing list is a valuable thing in many ways, just like a wiki history tab. For instance it will let people years in the future understand the background to decisions made by the chapter today, even after the people have moved on and forgotten. We already have cases on 'linkrot' where chapter minutes or other wikipages are linking to mailing list archives that no longer work. This decision will make that less likely in the future.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Mozilla teams up with Wikimedia UK for an Editathon - 18 August, London
How many Mozilla folk are we expecting? I might come down if it would be useful but if there aren't many, I'm not sure it would be worthwhile.

What we realised is that some of the articles relating to Mozilla, Firefox etc. in Wikipedia are not quite of the high standard they could be. And so we thought it would be a neighbourly thing to do to have a Mozilla-related Editahton - the aim would be to turn a list of about 15 Mozilla-related articles into content perhaps worthy of being a Good Article. The sprint will be on Saturday 18 August, starting at 12PM at the Mozilla offices (London WC2N 4AZ). Lunch and snacks will be provided, as will Mozilla people who can be consulted regarding good sources for information.

[Wikimediauk-l] Event at the British Library, 10 September
Hi all, This is to let you know about a couple of events at the British Library; on the 10th of September, we'll be hosting a workshop and exhibition tour. As with the original editathon back in January 2011, it should provide a good opportunity to meet curators, talk about possible collaborations, etc. If all goes to plan, we'll also have a group of newly released digital collections to work on, ready for sorting and uploading - details TBC. My work as Wikipedian in Residence has been heavily built around the training program in the last couple of months, and I'm hoping to be able to put more emphasis into content work from now on. If there's things you'd like me to try and work on later in the residency, or if you just want to chat about what's been done so far, please come along! In the evening, there is a tour arranged of the Writing Britain exhibition - this will start at 6.30 and be led by two of the curators organising the exhibition. Hopefully, it should be suitable for anyone working during the day and not able to make the afternoon session. I know it's a little unusual to hold an event on a weekday rather than a weekend, but this was the only day we could bring everything together! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BL/September_2012 Later in the week, in the morning of Thursday 13th, John Byrne has arranged a tour of the British Museum's ''Writing Shakespeare'' exhibition - signup details below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/2012 Please let me know if you've any questions, and hope to see you there! -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
