Blibbet has invited Wikipedia presentations for TA3M and I think Jonathan is working on a presentation to introduce tech-savvy non-Wikipedians to Wikipedia editing.

I have started to draft a presentation that gives a high-level overview of Wikimedia and Wikipedia that could be presented to TA3M and other technology, academic, or commercial audiences.

Here's an abbreviated version of the outline. Comments would be appreciated.

*Introduction: Wikimedia by the numbers

*Who does Wikipedia serve?

*Who creates and edits Wikipedia?

*What do people do on Wikipedia?

*How is Wikipedia curated and organized?

*How does communication happen on Wikipedia?

*Technology of Wikipedia

*Legal, privacy, and conflict-of-interest issues

*Fundraising and budget

*Grant programs

*Major online events, initiatives, and projects

*Major offline events, initiatives, and projects

*Wikipedia's sister projects

*The future
