In NYC we schedule these meetings with https://doodle.com/ the person who makes the doodle poll gets the benefit of being first with proposals I will join the next Cascadia!

I.e. we already have these 9 pages: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=prefix%3ACascadia There are many benefits to sharing a [watchlist, single-login, pre-existing templates/gadgets/etc, large community of janitors and interested by-passers, etc]. 2) If a separate wiki is strongly needed (? reasons should be detailed), then use a SUL-connected sub-domain like some other affiliates do: nyc.wikimedia.org -- nl.wikimedia.org -- pl.wikimedia.org -- ru.wikimedia.org -- etc I know there are a few reasons for why a group might potentially decide to use a completely disconnected wiki (complete identity-separation, private sections of the site), but I don't think any of those apply to Cascadia (or not at a benefit-level that offsets all the drawbacks). In summary: creating a new wiki for something, is often an anti-pattern; let's just use meta? quiddity / nick _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-Cascadia mailing list Wikimedia-Cascadia(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-cascadia
