WCPedia Progress Report

The second WCPedia IRC conference was held in #Wingnut over the weekend. It was another productive discussion that helped the core team working the project to establish a baseline for moving forward. They will now be creating a set of tutorials geared towards helping new users get involved with editing and contributing. Another IRC meeting will be held this coming weekend. It will occur a bit earlier in the day at 2 PM Eastern time so that more people in other time zones can attend. More info can be found at Crius.net.

This week we took a step back a bit during the conference.

We realize that Wiki editing can be daunting at first glance and have set ourselves to creating a "how to" tutorial for articles. This way less savvy users can figure out how to code and create articles without having to jump from article to article to figure out the necessary code.

We'll work on creating templates, infoboxes and other aspects of articles so that you can easily plug in information and start creating articles. The example pages will still work as guidelines for layouts and code that you may need, but our priority is making the project more accessible. We need everyone's help to get this moving and completed.

Next week we plan to meet earlier so that some of our friends from around the world can attend. We will hold the weekly conference at 2pm EST next Sunday.

We again invite everyone to attend, even if you know nothing about wiki editing (and most of us are still learning) we need you to finish this project.

This is WCPedia, Long Live the Confederation :)
