Should WREN sign the community open letter on renaming?
by Pharos 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Andrew and I were among those who worked on drafting this open letter, which is focused primarily on the lack of community process, rather than the name itself. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming I have started a section on the WREN talk page on meta, please share your input there: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Netw… ? Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

Hi everyone, Greetings! My name is Melanie Kill. I’m an English professor specializing in writing studies and digital rhetoric (and studying Wikipedia) at the University of Maryland just outside Washington, DC. I also chair the Wikipedia initiative of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), which is an academic professional association of college writing teachers and scholars. I am so pleased to announce that the CCCC Wikipedia Initiative is hiring a Wikimedian-in-Residence! Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight suggested this list as a good place to circulate the position announcement and seek advice as we get started. The position is remote and full-time from August 2020–May 2021. Please see the full announcement at https://bit.ly/CCCCWI-WiR-position <https://bit.ly/CCCCWI-WiR-position> and share with anyone who might be a good fit. Thanks for your help! All my best, Melanie <>–<>–<>–<>–<>–<>–<>–<>–<> Dr. Melanie Kill (she / her) Assistant Professor of English Coordinator of the Rhetoric Minor University of Maryland Chair, CCCC Wikipedia Initiative Committee Conference on College Composition and Communication

[WREN] Giving feedback on branding outlines by June 30th
by john cummings 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi all So we need to give our feedback on the branding options by June 30th. I went to the meeting about it got some helpful feedback for user groups. 1. We have one survey to complete as a group, which I have to fill in on behalf of the group 2. We don't have to give one opinion as a group, we can include a diversity of opinions My suggestion would be that I create a Google Doc with the questions and people can reply with their answers and we can combine answers and give weightings to answers e.g 30% of the group think A, 40% B and 30% C. We could have a call about it as well if you'd like, if so please suggest some times. Does this sound like a plan? Best
