<div dir="ltr">Thanks for cc'ing me, I almost missed this. Mel recently created a user page template that would make it a bit easier for people to create and flesh out some information.  But that is only part of the solution. In a more scalable way, we need more people who watch the wiki's and can connect people to where they would like to go.  There also needs to be more organized recruiting of wiki-cleanup volunteers and some facility to self-organize sets of tasks/projects on the wiki. To this end I've been dabbling with setting up some pages on the OLPC wiki to try to organize a "Wiki Gang" (<a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/wiki-gang">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/wiki-gang</a>) to work together on some of these tasks.  S.Page, cjl, and Diane have been amazingly useful in these tasks lately.  We also have someone looking at automating anti-spam anti-vandalism bots. btw, the group was created in hopes that all OLPC/sugar wikis would be the domain of self-organization.  It's an open list so please join it! --Seth <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 4:54 PM, Edward Cherlin <<a href="mailto:echerlin@gmail.com">echerlin@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 4:21 PM, David Farning <<a href="mailto:dfarning@sugarlabs.org">dfarning@sugarlabs.org</a>> wrote: > In my role as 'wiki watcher' I see quite a few people register, ask how > they can help, and disappear when no one responds. We need to get those notes to the Volunteer Coordinators, or point people to the relevant pages. I respond whenever I see such a query, and would be happy to receive an e-mail on each one you see. Seth needs to weigh in on how to do this effectively. Is there a way to scrape new Wiki data and send an automated report for phrases like "How can I help?" in context? Or reply to the poster? Or should we in fact have a Volunteer Signup page that offers to subscribe people to the relevant mailing lists, make them a User: page, and whatnot? Is there anything else where an automated report from the Wiki to the right people would be useful? > thanks > dfarning -- Don't panic.--HHGTTG, Douglas Adams <a href="http://fivethirtyeight.com" target="_blank">fivethirtyeight.com</a>, <a href="http://3bluedudes.com" target="_blank">3bluedudes.com</a> Obama still ahead in EC! <a href="http://www.obamapedia.org/" target="_blank">http://www.obamapedia.org/</a> Join us! <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mokurai" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mokurai</a> For the children </blockquote></div> </div>
