Wikimedia Hackathon 2016/Lessons Learned

**this page is a work in progress**

This page is a combination of feedback from a survey sent to participants and ideas from the organizers.

This page will focus heavily on improvements for next time and things that went poorly. However remember that 100% of the participants that responded to the feedback survey stated that their overall experience with the hackathon was either "Positive" or "Very Positive."
