Hi Rod,
Sorry I am not around on Wednesday, but happy to give some remote support
before then.
One limitation you will probably hit is the number of Accounts that can be
created on one IP address in one day. You can reduce that risk by having
multiple IPs, by asking attendees to create an account in advance or by
creating accounts for them. I would be happy to give either you or Andy the
Account creator right if you want it, that isn't as newbie friendly as
being able to create accounts themselves, but it bypasses that throttle.
The other throttles I can help with are that newbies are liable to face a
capcha when they try to add links, and if you structure your workshop in
such a way that you get to say "all hit enter now" you will find that six
newbies successfully edit and the rest get their edit throttled. Both can
be mitigated by setting participants as confirmed users - email me any
user names you learn in advance and I can sort that out for you.
Regards
Jonathan

Hi all,
This Wednesday (15th July) I will be doing (with help from Andy Dingley)
a workshop at the University of Exeter for web and comms staff from several
universities – see
*https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Exeter_University_July_2015*
<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Exeter_University_July_2015> for details.
I will try to add to that page the usernames of participants and any
articles edited during the day. If anyone had any time and could help to
monitor, advise and guide the participants remotely that would be great.
Rod
