I noticed that Amy Senger and Steven Mandzik of 1X57 are putting on a wiki workshop on June 18, geared towards newbies and particularly women, though anyone is welcome. This looks cool and I encourage spreading the word about this and if interested, signing up to attend.
Here are the details: * DC Women Who Wiki Workshop*
Saturday, June 18, 10am-2pm JESS3 HQ, 1707 L St. NW Washington, DC 20036
Join us for this free 1/2 day workshop that starts at the very beginning of wiki editing.
