Why we run Appropedia Jams: these can be a fun and social way to get introduced to Appropedia, and help people overcome barriers to editing a wiki.
Preparation for an Appropedia Jam
- Confirm the time - make sure some reasonably experienced Appropedians will be there.
- Confirm a chat tool.
- Set up the Etherpad beforehand - just tidy or empty it.
Announce
- Mailing lists (especially our own: A:Discussion lists)
- Social media (Twitter, FB, G+...) - especially through our own channels: A:Social media.
- A:Village pump.
Face-to-face Appropedia Jams
- Arrange a place with accessible wifi (or enough ethernet cables).
- Start with some "definites" - people with a solid reason to be using Appropedia. E.g. students using Appropedia for writing up their assignments.
- Make a page - e.g. Appropedia:Appropedia Jam/Arcata for jams in Arcata, California.
