Hi, Laura, Bidgee and Tim Collins have been at the Opal training camp this week in the lead up to Olympics, where there are also Paralympians training for the Paralympics.
They have been writing Wikipedia & Wikinews articles about these topics. Tonight at 8pm-10pm we will be holding a Wikinews workshop on IRC to support Laura, Bidgee and Tim, and so other contributors can learn about Wikinews. It will be a two hour session, however please join in at any time, and pop in even for 10 minutes and provide your thoughts on the wikinews articles that they we'll be writing. Some of us will be working on Wikinews articles about topics other than sport. For example the Australian budget, and Toby's wonderful work with the ABS data. If you need help to access the freenode IRC channel #wikimedia-au, please email this list or me, and we'll put you in touch with someone who can help you get ready. If anyone would like to try skype or google+ hangouts for the workshop, sing out and we'll try to organise that as well.
