An online party! An wiki whoopie!
UPDATE: it’s now August 1 in most parts of the world, and already the Write-a-Thon is a modest success…and the day hasn’t even begun in the U.S. …
Tomorrow (Wednesday, August 1), we’re going to have a Write-a-Thon. The concept is simple: come to the wiki, write a new article, edit somebody else’s new article, and record what you’ve done on the Write-a-Thon page. And do this when everybody is doing it. If it’s modestly successful, we’ll do it monthly.
Think of it as a way to let people who might not be on hand every day (the way some wikiholics are) know when a good time would be to join when the joint is jumping. It’s a better excuse than most to come and see what’s going on on the Citizendium. We can’t do it too often of course. But monthly seems like about right.
Don’t be a party poop! If you can come and stay for only a stub, we’ll take it!
And if you’re not a Citizen yet, don’t forget: I have made a personal guarantee that your application will be replied-to within 24 hours. Tomorrow, we’ll make it faster than that.
