On Saturday, Dec 3 at the MLK Jr Library, there will be a hackathon with focus on open data, including anything related to wiki data.<br><br><a href="http://opendatahackdc.eventbrite.com/">http://opendatahackdc.eventbrite.com/</a><br>
<br>Some wiki-related ideas could include:<br><br>* working on a way to get the 2000 census data, in so many articles, updated<br>* making use of data sources like <a href="http://data.worldbank.org">data.worldbank.org</a> or from the federal government (e.g. BLS) to make maps, populate infoboxes, etc.<br>
* working with the National Register of Historic Places data, possibly in preparation for doing more Wikis Take DC / Baltimore events or Wiki Loves Monuments here<br>* working with the Smithsonian Art Inventories data - <a href="http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/">http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/</a> for WikiProject Public Art<br>
* importing DC GIS data (more buildings) into OpenStreetMap -- no technical skills required<br>* do you have any additional suggestions?<br><br>Not all projects need to be wiki-related or uber-technical, though we also need skilled hackers and designers on Saturday. <br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Katie<br>
