I think we could speed that up by a wiki skills event
somewhat as Tom Morris
detailed, but maybe more one to one sessions. I've taught people hotcat and
catalot using my netbook in various meetups in pubs and pizza parlours. One
of my suggestions for wikimania was a skill sharing lounge where people
could teach each other various tools, and I suspect that such a session
would be a useful and popular event for the office. The difference between
categorising on commons with and without catalot is quite staggering and if
we can encourage more editors to use such tools the categorisation backlog
will be seriously dented.
I'm wondering if anyone wants to join in with a proposal to have one
Wikimania session in DC as a skills sharing thing? Or how we would
convince the Wikimania organisers that we need less pontificating and
more training? ;-)
