We're having our Wikipedia celebration a week after everyone else, to make it easier for students who were on break (looong breaks here!)
1) Print instructions or Screencasts for uploading to Wikimedia? - I want to make some really simple instructions for uploading to Wikimedia, so we can print out a 1 page guide to sit next to the machines. (I have a copy of the comic book-like licensing info)/ - And we want to direct people to a screencast on how to upload images to wikimedia. Is there a screencast already?
Any other resources for absolute beginners? Possibly people who aren't comfortable with computers (older people, etc).
2) I wanted to check if there's anyone else on this list from Ireland. I didn't see any other Irish cities, but thought there might be lurkers?
3) More info about our event in Sligo: http://sligovec.ie/news/sligo-celebrates-wikipedia-10 - Promotion a week before the event online to get people to select existing images from their photo libraries - Saturday 'wiki wander' - photo scavenger hunt (hoping for good weather, but rain won't stop it) - Exhibition and a prize to give away from a local company sponsor - Hand on workshop in the computer labs to show people how to get their pictures into wikimedia.
Best wishes to everyone making preparations!
