I'm also potentially available then, though 10 AM
in Cambridge is a stretch.
Will there be a Skype chat?
You don't have to be there at 10, though. It's all on a drop-in basis.
I said 10 to 1 because they probably want the table for lunch by 1,
but I'm free to spin the thing out if lunch is wanted by others.
Skype is possible in theory but I wouldn't count absolutely either on
the wifi or on the extended interest.
I think I may spend time hacking out the basic training "syllabus",
which is one item high up the agenda, and this is a thing worth
discussing collectively in early drafts. There is also a "single-sign
on" issue for which I have a new clue today; and we can hash out
"training for trainers" and implications.
It would be good to have anyone who finds the general area interesting
contributing. There was a big emphasis at Wikimania on support for
newbies, in particular, and Peter Coombe gave a presentation on his
fellowship work on the enWP help pages. What is proposed for online
modules should work hand-in-glove with that whole effort, and it is
more a question of getting to the detail than justifying what I'm up
to. I'm hoping a consistent WMUK approach will emerge.
If anyone really needs Skype presence, mail me Friday and I'll let you
know my Skype contact. Clueful people coming along with laptops would
definitely be an asset. I'll be bringing A4 and a pen ...
