Project Plan

Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

We expect to do 1 training followed by 3 Editathons over 6 months in different cities to improve/create/translate articles about Design and designers.

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

We already did 1 session last year, helped with Wikimedia France. We have communicated on the project page, also our facebook page and website page that we will organize soon others editathons. We will also use the design schools in different cities to communicate to their students (4 schools have been identified and contacted, waiting for an editathon to happen).

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes, we have 2 active contributors : Myself (Dizaineur) and Koulmab. We may also have support from Sarah Krichen WMFr (she helped with the last sessions). We often go to Edit-a-thons, especially with Les sans pagEs Project. For my part, I already organized one Edit-a-thons (with Wikimedia FR) and some introductions to contribute on Wikipedia.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

The participants are mainly beginners. We will support them and explain them at beginning of each edit-a-thon the main rules of Wikipedia. We also check individually their contributions after the editathons. Last year, Wikimedia France supported us to help participants contribute.

Regarding the equipments, we usually ask participants to bring their own laptop, and some books.

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

At the end of each Edit-a-thon we create a homework list and stay connected with the group through a facebook group (not started yet) and the discussion page of the project.

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

We can have support from Les sans pagEs contributors.

The field of design on Wikipedia is poorly documented, and the designers who contribute on wikipedia are rare. We also expect to show and teach design schools how can they use wikimedia projects in their courses and how students can contribute in different ways on Wikipedia while learning.

The Editathons will be open to everyone (not just students).
