Title:

News On Wiki, Phase 2 complete

Theme:

Saturday Longer Sessions

Type of session:

Birds of a Feather/Panel

Abstract:

Wikiask (Wikiask.org) is a new open knowledge project, very new. With only 100 questions and 100 registered users, it is in the early days of wiki formation both in content and community.

But it's bones are in the right place: despite an early block for over-emailing active editors, Wikiask has chosen the permissive CC BY-SA 4.0 license, hired experienced mediawiki coders to develop the tech stack, and sought out expert advice for community management and outreach.

Find out much more about this new Q&A website in a debut Q&A session with Wikiask Founder Bill Cherman and Wikiask CTO Yaron Koren, moderated by Wikipedia Library Founder and WikiBlueprint lead Jake Orlowitz (currently advising wikiask).
