Pierre's Inquiry on the Wiki:

Upcoming Community Session - Join us next week to learn all about the
community in Brazil :

individuals connect to Open Knowledge. We want to share your stories.

In this Community Session, we will feature Everton (Tom) Zanella Alvarenga,
Executive Director.

*Wiki Sprint and the Upcoming OKF France General Assembly:*

Pierre and others keen to wiki. We had a great session yesterday and will
keep on doing Wiki Wednesdays.

The wiki planning page:  http://wiki.okfn.org/Wiki_upgrade_planning

Things that need help:

1. Build out a plan for how to localize the wiki.

http://wiki.okfn.org/Wiki_Localization_and_Translation

As mentioned, we are in the research stage and the content has not been
stabilized yet. If anyone wants to help add resources or build out the
project, please add your notes to the wiki.

2. Local Groups - France

This page could include details about your group. Simply use the template:

http://wiki.okfn.org/Local_Groups

3. General to do list

Try to tackle some of the questions in the General Help list

http://wiki.okfn.org/Wiki_upgrade_planning#General_.22TO_Wiki.22_list

Hope this helps. (I am away tomorrow. If you have more questions, one of my
colleagues might be able to help.)

Heather
