For those of you who are not familiar with the Simons Foundation:
- they are one of the funders of the Wiki Education Foundation's Year of
Science [1], via their "Science Sandbox" program [2]
- they are also financially supporting the WikiCite event in Vienna in May
[3]
- they are among the organizations who formally endorsed the Initiative for
Open Citations we launched earlier this month [4]

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] New guide for organizing Edit-a-thons at science
conferences
To: Wiki Research-l <Wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I just ran across a new-ish (Feb 17) resource for people interested in
running editathons for scientists, developed by the Simons Foundation. You
can read the blog post[1] and download the guide in PDF form[2].
The guide provides a well-organized and comprehensive set of practical tips
for organizing, publicizing, and running editathons and is tuned to the
needs and interests of science SMEs.
Forwarding because I know there are many folks on this list who are
involved in this sort of work and/or could be.
Cheers,
Jonathan
