Hi all,
I'm very interested in matters at the interface between Wikimedia and
education but don't understand whether this user group - as the name
and existing documentation would suggest - is limited specifically to
Wikipedia(s) or what the role would be for other Wikimedia projects.
For instance, I am working on a collection of ideas for educational
activities involving Wikidata, as per
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikidata_curricula/Activities .
Would that be considered in scope for this user group or is the vision
to have separate user groups for educational activities involving
Wikimedia projects other than Wikipedia(s)?
Cheers,
d.

Dear all,
Now that the Wikipedia & Education User Group has been officially approved
and Wikimania is over, it's time to jump-start our activity and start
working together again. Exciting, I know! :)
To do that, we'd like have an online meeting, where we will share updates
and will determine our next steps as a user group, the first of which would
be to start an election process to choose a board for our user group.
*Here's a link to a doodle <https://doodle.com/poll/zb5q8ph4zstv9u3b> which
will help us determine a time for a meeting.* As we are an international
crowd, an effort was made to include time slots that might work for
different places in the world simultaneously. You should be seeing this in
your own time zone.
Please vote on the best dates & times for you* by next Wednesday, August 15
at midnight (whenever that is :)). *A final date will be announced on
Thursday, August 16.
Who is invited to participate in the meeting?
Anyone who's doing work around Wikipedia & Education is invited, no matter
where they are from, or from which group or chapter. As long as
participants are polite, friendly and ready to work with others, they are
welcome!
Best,
Shani.
