I'm running with it, then. I will not have the brain time slotted for such a template until later this week. Also, very related: (skip to the tl;dr section if you do not want to read the ramblings of a documentarian) There are a few spots on the wiki dedicated to conference planning

/me wonders if this particular branch of the conversation would benefit from reading the other branch where there is a action plan starting to formulate to create better documentation + doc/comm practices; however, she does not want to deny anyone the chance to continue this branch of the

The issue isn’t so much pointing to the places and figuring out what goes where. There does not seem to be one canonical location for each morsel of information, and I don’t know if more guidelines or rules are going to solve the problem. Becky is on point about the wiki being problematic,

This really speaks to the c4l who’s-in-charge-here / nobody is in charge / take the ball and run with it zeitgeist. We have one person — Ryan Wick — who carries most of the load for the website and the wiki. I don’t think that he, or anyone else, takes responsibility for organizing the

Cary, I can speak to the signup for the Newcomer Dinner signup - previous years had the signup on the wiki, but this year we decided to try something different for the signup that didn't require an additional account to sign up. This should have given Ryan a bit of a break with people requesting

So wouldn't this be solved by having one authoritative place to point to all of the various pieces related to a particular conference? Perhaps all we need to do is to be better about making sure that the Conference page on code4lib.org points to *everything* relating to that conference. That seems

I have no issue with Google Docs or Eventbrite. My point is that it is hard for me to find stuff when it is in so many systems, and I am used to it. I think that it is time to do something about it. On Tuesday, February 17, 2015, Becky Yoose b.yo...@gmail.com wrote: Cary, I can speak to the
