4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them? We will be supplying extra power cords for laptops. We are going to be providing 4 to 5 articles that need to be changed and create a list of Canadian female artists in Ottawa who are not on Wikipedia for us to work with. We will supply books and articles for reference.
