User:Dfred/MeetupWork
This is a temporary and entirely provisional page for work/planning related to the proposed TC Wiki Edit-a-Thon at the Traverse Area District Library
as part of Open Access Week 2013.
The theme, or focus, of editing will be on Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, and Northern Lower Michigan subjects and related history. But general editing of Wikipedia will also be encouraged and supported.
Exact date and location is yet to be determined, but it will likely be in mid/late October 2013.
Eventually some or all of this information will be moved to a proper meetup/edit-a-thon page.

Random but specific ideas
- One thing that is particularly useful to Wikipedia/Wikimedia is the addition of images properly licensed for free use. If the focus is going to be on TC history, scanning pre-1923 images in the library's materials as well as soliciting images that community member's hold the rights to would be a useful sub-goal for the project.
