Hi Fabian/Leutha,

It would need some sort of working group arrangement, whether that's a wikiproject or otherwise. The crucial factors are identifying who is interested in helping with this type of project, and making sure that the relevant stakeholders from the other charities/groups are also included.

I can help with this, but I really don't have the time to take a lead to make this happen. Would anyone be interested in volunteering to lead this?

Thanks,
Mike

This sounds like a great idea, let's do it. I am not sure that a  WIkiproject work for this. Is there a better way to approach things?

If, of course, that's something that event attendees and organisers would find useful. This is something that could easily be done in cooperation with other charities/groups that have more experience than WMUK/Wikimedians at onlining people, to make sure they contain the most relevant information in the most accessible way possible.
