Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikiconference USA 2015

Thanks Pine. Would the 2016 conference be held at roughly the same time of year as the 2015? (We're discussing a possible "Wikimedia and Medicine" conference at the English Wikiproject Medicine, and wouldn't want to clash.) On that point, is there a central events calendar on Meta for planning

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikiconference USA 2015

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikiconference USA 2015

Thanks for that link Anthony - can't wait for the transcript to be added (I tried grabbing it off streamtext but couldn't). Stuart Ray lists several things we know we should work on but don't: article ownership, deletions of primary sources, only zero or negative feedback for valuable
