Hi GLAM-Wiki leaders and event runners,
I get a lot of requests for advice and support designing edit-a-thons. I
also hear a lot of advice from program leaders, that I know other program
leaders do not know about.
Moreover, since more and more campaigns and activities are being run in the
Programs and Events Dashboard, I wanted to make sure we had advice brought
together in one place accessible and translatable for the dashboard.
Hence, I am happy to announce a very first, preliminary draft of an
"Editathon runner" training designed for the Programs and Events dashboard
training modules:

I need your help: this draft, is a very early draft. Please review it to
make sure that it reflects that practices you would expect of edit-a-thon
runners in your context! More instructions for feedback are on the page,
but I welcome feedback here as well or at Wikimania.
Also, a special thanks to everyone who share their advice in the the
earlier threads, especially Kerry Raymond who articulated a number of
details that I wouldn't have included by default in the training.
Cheers,
Alex
