Frances, that's just really cool. Thanks for sharing it.
I think Christine Moellenberndt from our staff is in touch with them and
planning to attend and listen. Really really appreciate you letting us know
about this stuff!

Women Write Wikipedia: A How-To Webinar
Have you ever looked something up in the Wikipedia? Obviously, right? But:
have you ever *edited* anything in the Wikipedia? Bet the answer is “no,”
and that’s a crying shame! Wikipedia, as you know, is quickly becoming the
go-to reference point for our collective history. But, over 80% of
Wikipedia’s editors are men–which means that women’s opportunities to
document history and knowledge are passing us by.
In this hour-long online workshop, WAM!Bassador of Technology Deanna
Zandt<http://www.deannazandt.com/>will teach you the basics of editing a Wikipedia
page, as well as the
cultural norms that you’ll need to know to be a good Wikipedian. It’s time
to make sure that all genders are represented in our brave new history!
FREE. Choose from either
