EMWCon Spring 2019/Update on Some Internal Government Wikis


 * Update on Some Internal U.S. Government MediaWikis

Outline planning
One slide each:
 * Monthly Enterprise MediWiki meetings -- we invite more participation
 * Diplopedia - explanation, growth/change?  update en.wp if possible
 * characterize sponsors and users and usage of each of these, if possible
 * Intellipedia (Peter needs to request update, Wired from 2017, update en.wp if possible)
 * Powerpedia - update, platform, templates, usage?
 * Statipedia RIP; backups, FOIA, some follow-on experiments at eedi
 * New: ITA wiki, NRC wiki starting up(more from its sponsors in lightning talks)
 * many other examples, e.g. DOL's
 * Gcpedia update? No


 * NITRD wiki -- OSTP/NITRD -- a range of interagency computing discussions, e.g. SPSQ, CSIA topics


 * Related efforts
 * Wikimedians in Residence, e.g.: at Smithsonian Natural History, NARA, CDC/NIOSH -- this contributes to the basic knowledge needed to get along on wikis which are really different from other federal platforms
 * code.gov -- no mediawiki projects yet but there's an ongoing effort to get US govt source code into the open-source mainstream
 * FCP CCS -- crowdsourcing discussions (crowdsourcing.gov? find platform)
 * something about VPAT effort? Clarifying differences with SharePoint wiki?  Not time to include this


 * consider updating, drawing from, and avoiding duplication with my 2016 presentation on this
