New subject: Wikimania-l Digest, Vol 146, Issue 16

21 Jun 2018

Hi Phoebe,

The short answer is yes, we are interested in doing a botanical edit-a-thon
but it is looking increasingly unlikely. :-(

Rossouw has been trying to organise a Wikimania edit-a-thon with the South
African National Botanical (SANBI) society (the people that run
Kirstenbosch) for some time now.  They have indicated their interest to us
in doing some thing but have been very elusive over the past few months.
 As such we have swiched focus to doing a Water Sustainability edit-a-thon
instead but if SANBI gets back to us we are still very happy to include
them in any edit-a-thon we organise.

Regards,

Douglas.

 Hi all,

 Like many attendees I expect, I am looking forward to visiting Kirstenbosch
 Botanical Garden and other gardens in Cape Town! Laura (cc'd) and I were
 wondering if there would be interest in an informal edit-a-thon about South
 African plants during the conference? We could take pictures, add sources,
 improve Wikidata items, etc etc.

 If there is interest, I can make a page and we can try to figure out a good
 time. Perhaps as a thematic meetup, during the pre-conference, or just
 afterwards as a field trip?

 cheers,
 Phoebe
