You are invited to join us at the 'Wiki-Salon and Skill Share', a community event of knowledge-sharing for those of all levels of experience with Wikipedia, on Sunday August 17 on the Upper West Side.
The main meeting runs from 2-5pm, and afterward we'll walk to a social wiki-dinner together at a neighborhood restaurant
We welcome all interest from the education, museum and library, and nonprofit worlds, and from everyone in any community interested in building a bigger, broader and better Wikipedia.
For those in education, this can be a good way to kick off the Fall wiki-semester! We'll be glad to help advise/assist with any course project.
For those who experienced our old community meetings at Columbia University, the Wiki-Salon is an effort to get back to that style of broad-ranging community discussion.
