Revision as of 10:57, 16 October 2013
this is the development of a proposal by User:Gnangarra please leave comments and participate in discussion on the talk page
Background
The first WikiTown was started in Monmouth May 2012 and since then the WikiTown/QRpedia concept has been developed in a number other locations, some those of have had some controvercy associated with them. During this though Fremantle, Johannesburg, Estonina, Toodyay and Waroona of these Fremantle, Toodyay and Waroona are all projects I've started and continue to guide. It hasnt been an easy process there have been pitfalls, problems to address errors made along with successes and suprise results, most of this has been developed in isolation, problems resolved in isolation and I think its time that our combined lessons be brought together to help others follow and identify potential solutions to problems they face without the need to reinvent the wheel again thus creating a community of experience where knowledge can be shared
concept
What I'm proposing is that WMAU hosts a conference bringing together key people who have the scares, whether they be Wikimedians, GLAM, LGA, or others within those communities. Then publish the outcomes and present these outcomes at Wikimania '14 as a frame work for other projects to utilise in building WikiTowns.
Goals
- create a WikiTown community
- create a guide to building WikiTowns
- identify problems and the solutions used
- source material for signage
- possibly some standardizations so that when some enters WikiTown anywhere they are able to recognise it as such.
- address WMF needs in the process, take the focus away from past indiscretions
- successfully expand the concept globally
additional benefits to WMAU;
- promote WMAU as key facilitator & collaborator in the wider wiki-community
- promote WMAU to wider Australian community
- to demonstrate that global events can occur here successfully(future Wikimania)
- promote the WikiTown concept to LGA's locally & nationally
