"Wanted Pages" created
8 new pages created since Friday

TASKS currently on the barnraising page:

suggested tasks for individuals

* Have a go at the Ice_Breaker task.
* visit the exhibition
* explore what content is already on the wiki (Special:Allpages )
and expand on it, tidy, or add comments to related discussion pages.
If the discussion page doesn't exist yet, it will be created when you
save your comment.
* familarise yourself with the functioning of the mediawiki
technology a bit, make an edit, view it as 'preview' before saving,
ask questions, help others.
* register as a user on this wiki, log in, put something on your user page.
* Communicate, meet new people and have fun!

tasks for the collective

* Go through all of the pages which are presently uncategorised
and add categories
* Make a list of which pages are ripe for mass attention
* Make a list of which pages are badly needed - see Wanted Pages
* Determine the neighbouring wikis to DARwiki and specify
relationships and boundaries
* Consider future policy for real names, pseudonyms or anonymous editing
* Consider a statement of aims for this DARwiki

Specialised Roles requiring volunteers

* Theoretician - to build sound foundations
* publicity agent - gathering more barn raisers
* technician - finding out more about mediawiki syntax, showing us
additional functionality
* journalist - keeping records and writing reports about how the
barn raising is progressing
* communicator - keeping each of the different channels informed
of what the others are doing
* teacher - looking out for people who need help and showing them
how to operate

WANTED PAGES

[[Gibbs reflective Cycle]] - One of the most popular models for
deliberate reflection

[[Researcher blogs]] - List of researchers' blogs with RSS

[[Remote Working]] - benefits and challenges for the telecommuter

[[Qualitative data analysis]] - Techniques, evaluation and references

It's Monday tomorrow, perhaps some people will find a bit of time to
visit from workplaces.

A bit of dialogue might be an idea, do you think, perhaps?

Andy ... I am just drowning in a workshop that I'm presenting at the
moment. I can't participate nearly as much as I'd like, but I'm
looking in and will do what I can. It's not for lack of "vontade".
