More to learn

edit

Further details about what I would like to learn.

  • Setting up templates for Wikimedia projects (Main pages, infoboxes, etc.)
  • Skills that are important for managing teams and volunteers (adaptability, team-building, self-awareness, problem-solving, mentoring, assertive communication)
  • Financial planning and management (ie. budget design, financial management practices, financial reporting) I would like to learn via email.

Stories about sharing

edit

Interesting stories about applying the skills I want to share.

  • Tools for making batch uploads of media and data to Wikimedia projects (e.g. Pattypan, OpenRefine)'
  • Basic Wikidata use and how it can support other projects
  • Proposal writing for funding (writing a good proposal that follows a logical sequence and captures your vision, your strategies, and how your activities, budget, and evaluation respond to this. Focused on Wikimedia funds, but can also be useful for other grant/partnership proposal writing). I would like to mentioned skills via email.
