Project Goal

edit

Briefly explain what are you trying to accomplish with this project, or what do you expect will change as a result of this grant. Example goals include, "recruit new editors", "add high quality content", or "train existing editors on a specific skill".

  1. The project is to involve widely dispersed Australian communities. It is to seek involvement with the current Strategy process cycle.
  2. The focus will be on three key groups. The contributing community, the existing partnership communities, and the wider GLAM and government information collection sectors.
  3. For effective facilitation, and continuity, with clear communication, and reporting of this process cycle, in a limited time period it it necessary to have an in person engagement at the multiple locations by a single co-ordinator.

The Project Plan is to facilitate discussions around Australia about the Strategy. This application is looking at Adelaide, Brisbane, Dawrwin, and Sydney. Melbourne and Perth are not part of the costing in this application, as they have already been covered by Wikimedia Australia in this process.
