> If you’ve been thinking about donating<http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/participate/#donate>,
> now is the time. A donation in any amount helps offset the cost of
> community outreach and education efforts as well as project oversight. Some
> of us signed on to the project knowing it was quite possible we would
> receive no compensation for our work. Several team members offered to
> forfeit any pay after it became clear that we’d be unable to go forward
> without additional revenue. We’ve spent hours on the phone educating
> coworking space managers and catalysts about the resources available on the
> wiki. We’ve identified the wiki’s key functions and resources in order to
> produce a better, more intuitive structure for it, and we’ve begun
> delegating the task of transferring pages accordingly. Last week, we
> migrated the entire wiki from wiki.coworking.info to wiki.coworking.com,
> and managed to preserve all of our SEO and link continuity in the process.
> Most importantly, we’ve recruited a full team<http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/project/team/>of talented, dedicated, experienced professionals who will be responsible
> for the wiki’s ongoing maintenance. We hope to thank our project
> coordinators with more than just a handshake.

> Donating <http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/participate/#donate>to the Upgrade Project is a great way for spaces and individuals to
> demonstrate their commitment to the coworking movement and its values:
> openness, collaboration, accessibility, sustainability, and community. We
> will recognize all of our donors on the wiki as Founding Partners.

> Just the Beginning

> In many ways, the real work of the project starts now. We invite you to
> review and provide feedback on our proposed draft for the wiki’s Content
> Structure<http://wiki.coworking.com/w/page/55313141/Coworking%20Wiki%20Content%...>.
> You can respond to this blog post or contact us<http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/contact/>with your thoughts. There is already a wealth of information available on
> the wiki, and we expect the task of managing this valuable resource will
> only grow more formidable going forward. We need your help in order to
> ensure the site’s hierarchy will be as simple and intuitive as possible for
> newcomers.

> Are you an expert or highly experienced in something coworking-related? Do
> you see a section on the wiki you could improve upon? Is there a relevant
> topic that’s completely absent? Maybe you want to get involved, but aren’t
> sure of the best way to help. Consider volunteering<http://www.opencoworking.org/coworkingwiki/participate/#volunteer>with us. We’ll talk to you about your experience and talents in order to
> identify the task best suited to your interests, and then we’ll provide any
> assistance you may need.

> Though active fundraising will conclude on July 31, we will continue to
> provide you with project updates and news about the wiki, posting
> information on the blog and Twitter <http://twitter.com/coworkingwiki>.

> For Our Donors, We are Misty-Eyed

> We’ve accomplished a lot, but the majority of our work is yet to come.
> It’s all possible only because of the tremendous amount of financial and
> logistical support we’ve received. The vast majority of this support comes
> from people in the coworking community who recognize the benefits of having
> a Coworking Wiki that’s more organized, up-to-date, and carefully
> maintained. We will all benefit from the generosity of these individuals
> and organizations. Everyone who contributes before July 31 will be
> recognized as a Founding Partner. Our thanks will never be enough.
