Wikipedia Weekly Episode 3.0 - Wikipedia.... anywhere...

The Panel

Currently, It's planned that we make a conference on Skype, which works up to ten folks, but for practical purposes four is about ideal.

Those signing up should be experienced with previous episodes, and be regular listeners of other podcasts.

Agenda

This is the basic layout of how the episode is planned to move along.

Time of Recording

[to be announced]

Introduce the panel

That'd be the speakers listed above. Each person says what they'd like to about themselves, and we move on.

News

Go through any recent news (for instance, any major headlines we see). Each person on the panel introduces at least one item, if possible, which the rest then talk about - so, everyone speaks equally, and we have a chance to properly talk things through. I guess each item could have a few minutes' discussion, or as much as we think it can take before it gets boring.

If we have time or nothing of interest, reading and discussing some articles on the Signpost may attract more people to read it.

Some suggested items for Episode 2:

• Pokémon FAs
• Systemic bias at Wikipedia?
• wearesmarter.org/ <--- what is this about? :)
• Delphine's suggestion: "overview and insider views of Wikimedia projects and insiders' views into other languages wikipedias"
• Seth Ilys' Dot Project
• Wikipedia on the iPod (Matt Swann), Wikipedia CD, TomeRaider, Webaroo
  • Wikipedia's reliability in schools

Special focus

Once we decide on a topic to talk about(if at all) more info will be added.

Anything else

If anybody provides some particularly interesting feedback, or one of us has anything cool to say, we'd say it here. Who knows? It might be interesting, if we ever have anything to say. :)

The World According to Wikipedia

This would be a quick, light-hearted discussion of any particularly funny page-rankings we see on The Top 100 pages at Wikipedia. There's at least two or three minutes' worth of humour in that. :)
