Webinars edit

We ideated and tested a 1 hour model of a webinar: the first half of the hour containing a presentation/discussion with experts or partners on a certain topic, and the last half of the hour, an editing session on a wiki project related to that topic. Not two isolated groups of people, but put together on the same topic, two separated worlds: experts/partners and wikimedians. On one hand, this can help wikimedians to go deeper and have more clear some arguments, and on another hand, help experts to understand how they can contribute to our projects. Is also a way to explain "outside" the projects/community rules.
