Hi all,
pls correct me if I'm wrong, but WCA was aimed to do this (and already
collected some materials) but ultimately failed due to the fact that from
this basic idea it was quickly developed into an "uber-chapter"-like thing,
not to mention the other problems.
Anyways, I would highly recommend to stop reinventing the wheel every year
as there are at least 2 or more similar (or like-minded) initiatives from
the past years. Plus those that I'm not aware of.
Rather collect and merge them into a single proposition as there are plenty
to learn from their failure than starting again (what you just did btw)
Imo.
Cheers, Balazs

Thanks Philippe for the pointer. Sounds like an
interesting angle, she has
been hired very recently it seems? I'm looking forward to the slightly more
details description on the user page that is apparently forthcoming :)

Hi Chris,
Have you approached Anna Stillwell -
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:AStillwell_(WMF) - about this?
She seems a natural person to include in your discussions and thinking.
Having worked with her some, I think she'll have some real insights for
you. :-)
