Update on Johannesburg Moleskin 5th October workshop

edit
  • For the strategy session:
    • Welcome Wagon:
    • Every time a new person signs up to Wikipedia in your country, they get a personalised email from the Welcome Wagon person with their local contact's email address. This will make people feel welcome and give them recourse when there is an edit person. This can be a paid position.
    • Bootcamps for new members. When there are enough people interested, you organise the bootcamp.
