User:Sonkiki/Handbook Project

This is my working page for a 3-week project as a contractor for WMF, with the goal of creating a hackathon/ event handbook.

Journal
Week 1

Mon, 12 June: First day, trying to get into it, clicking my way through various wiki pages, made a timeline, currently collecting everything here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Sonja. Kick-off call with Rachel Farrand in the evening.

Tue, 13 June: encountering some issues with creating wiki pages, troubleshooting by Raimund Liebert (WMAT). Found out that Jean-Frédéric has started a handbook in 2014: User:Jean-Frédéric/Hackathon handbook and that Wenke from WMDE is working on an event guidebook in German as well.
