Wikipedian in Residence
The Piłsudski Institute of America seeks volunteers to serve as
Wikipedian in Residence (WiR). The volunteer is expected to have
experience in writing the Wikipedia content and first hand knowledge of
Wikipedia best practices. A person speaking English and Polish (at least
to some degree) is preferred.
The tasks of the WiR will largely depend on his/her experience with
Wikipedia projects and interests. Developing Wikipedia content to expand
the Wikipedia coverage of Polish-Americans and Polish-American
institutions is a major and important task; the Institute is a source of
valuable information that can be used in creating such material.
Educational projects and events such as Wikipedia Initiative, with the
Institute support, could bring cutting-edge teaching initiatives to all
courses worldwide which focus on Poland and Polish-American culture and
heritage. The Institute is also involved in a range of digitization
projects, and a WiR with interest in data and metadata can work on
bridging the archival metadata standards with Wikipedia. Those are just
examples of wide range of exciting possibilities.
Please contact office(a)pilsudski.org for more information and to apply.
PS. The Institute is also looking to network with Wikipedians in the NY
area, so anyone who would like to help with the outreach there is more
then welcome to contact them at the above address, too!
