Wiscipedia Staff Meeting 1/24 ... 1pm

present: Jia, Daniel, Brian, Tyler, Charlie, Mary

TUESDAY (Jan 27) Student Org Fair - Memorial Union Great Hall
5-630pm Jia and Daniel
6:30-8pm Tyler and Brian
SOF plans:
- we will have a laptop set up with the old Wiscipedia just to give students an idea of what it may look like
- we will have an email list of students who are interested in the launching date

Regards to next steps:
- feel free to keep contributing to Wiscipedia by writing in Notepad/Word! We can then copy-paste all you have once the wiki is truly up and running
- we will set this up eventually as a moderator & student org where moderators monitor content while general members contribute and spread word around... use names of interest collected at student org fair
- for future moderator positions (year after next) we will set up some sort of application
- the next meeting will be in ~ 1mo or depending on when wiscipedia is opened :)
- Jia will ask DoIT about possibly gaining access to wiki for editing purposes b4 net ID authentication gets set up

Winter Break Update

This was a pretty productive winter break... we now have a lot more content on the old Wiscipedia.

Also, we have halted updates on the old Wiscipedia so that it can be transitioned to the new one! :)
Both URLs wiscipedia.org & wiscipedia.com now link to wiscipedia.wisc.edu! Ty Ilari Shafer! :)

Also, Mary Czynszak-Lyne in Honors and Jia discussed some trinkets we will order. We'll be getting about 500 of each highlighter/pen combos and post-it notes.

Finally some less exciting news: it looks like the NetID authentication may take longer than we originally thought to set up so it looks like we may not be able to launch at the org fair.
