Discussion

• The geonotice did not work, it appears the maintainer of this service is no longer active.
• Talk about restarting the Wikipedia:New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight, perhaps on a monthly basis

• Some need to tidy the Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand page.
  • Answer questions people have
  • Provide HOWTO ( Step by Step ) and suggest 10 minute or 2 hour projects
    • Create requested articles
    • Assessments
    • Find photos in Flickr
  • Approach people to write articles or provide background information to base articles on
  • most of the above are not hard just, need somebody with time and inclination.

• Requested photos
  • Create subcats for NZ photos
• Need more assessment of articles
• Lots of missing photos, Some success reported searching flickr and sending authors their requests.
• Some general articles that cross areas missing ( "sustainability in New Zealand" )
• Next meeting could perhaps be a copy of "wikis take Manhattan" with groups across Auckland ( and perhaps other centers) taking photos ( and other media) and uploading it to Wikipedia, followed by meeting. Suggested date is February 2009 to take advantage of summer weather.
