What's the Weekly Wiki?

It's an informal meeting/workshop/get-together, in which we can (once a week) expect to be able to interact with other Citizens in something closer to real-time. So you can announce your new articles; request help with articles; ask questions about policy or the software; introduce proposals; generally chat; etc.

When?

Wednesdays when there's no Write-a-Thon, at:

  • Wednesday UTC 0900 (= 7 PM Sydney)
  • Wednesday UTC 1800 (= 7 PM London, 8 PM Paris)
  • Thursday UTC 0100 (= Wednesday 6 PM California, 9 PM New York)

We'll say that the Weekly Wiki happens for two hours beginning at each of those times, but anytime Wednesday, you can write on the Weekly Wiki page.

What time is it now where? --Larry Sanger 03:00, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'll be back in an hour. --Larry Sanger 03:05, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'll be about during the day, hopefully will add one or two articles somewhere. Denis Cavanagh 03:46, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

One thing I've been trying to think of a way to do is to motivate people to work on the more in-demand topics, essential concepts and basic jargon, and also top-level articles about disciplines and subdisciplines. Can we brainstorm a little about that? --Larry Sanger 04:04, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I'm probably going to spend some time working on philosophy today (harder since I don't have immediate access to my philosophy books)--if you, especially non-philosophers, want to take a look and give me some brief advice about how to make that clearer and more interesting, I would love that. --Larry Sanger 04:04, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

We could always do something about the wanted pages list: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Special:Wantedpages Denis Cavanagh 04:08, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
