Wikivoyage editathon

general
#1

Travel Massive and FLOSSK are hosting this Sunday a Wikivoyage editathon with the goal of improving touristic information about Kosovo. The event is part of the broader effort to improve tourism in Kosovo.

Wikivoyage is a free web-based travel guide for travel destinations written by people like you. It is a sister project of Wikipedia.

This time we’ll be focusing on the articles in English, but if you can write other major global languages, you are encouraged to help translate. Basic wiki training will be provided in the first hour, so no previous knowledge other than enthusiasm about touristic information is required.

Articles we’ll be working on:

And some mapping here and there.

This event is kindly sponsored by Buffalo Backpackers Hostel.

Location: Prishtina Hackerspace http://www.prishtinahackerspace.org/contact/

Time: Sunday, June 4th, at 10:00 until around 17:00

Create a Wikivoyage/Wikipedia account and bring a laptop with you.

Please join us this Sunday!

I would like to help as well, will you be on irc?

#3

I will be on IRC, but I will probably forget to look at it.

We could talk on SDF VoIP.

Mike, I could be on IRC, yes. Let me know when do you expect to join due to time zone differences.

Tom, I’ll try to be on VoIP though I have a feeling it could be distracting to me since I’ll be moving around helping people.

ok, well maybe a target list and I can just pick 1-2 to work on.

#6

List is in my original post. You can work on others as well.

You can work on a bit more technical stuff like Wikivoyage/OSM mapping and photo illustrations for all articles and Prizren. Once we achieve good articles in English, you can translate to German.
