Schedule

[edit]
  • We'll offer training only if new people come who need it.
  • Our plan is to review sets of pages on English Wikipedia that refer to the whitehouse.gov site and see if the links work right, and if not to make a wise substitution.
  • We also would like to understand why different searches are giving different numbers of such links.

FAQ

[edit]
  • Do I have to be a Wikipedia editor already? No, this event is open to everyone, even beginners.
  • What happens if I get hungry? We'll have food! Details TBD.
  • What should I bring? A laptop computer
  • Can I leave early? Sure! we won't lock anyone in. You can walk from this building to the National Mall or to a restaurant
  • How can I access the GWU wireless network?
