The AIC Wiki meeting provided active wiki Creators with the chance to connect faces with the names they\u2019ve seen contributing over the past year, and everyone introduced themselves to the group. AIC\u2019s e-Editor Rachael Perkins Arenstein noted that roughly half of those present were new to the wiki, and at the meeting to learn how to get involved.\u00a0 She began by providing a brief background on the history of the wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SG\u2019s and the \u201cWiki Edit-a-thon\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was an update on each specialty group\u2019s use of the wiki.\u00a0 The specialty groups shared their strategies for building participation in January\u2019s \u201cWiki Edit-a-thon.\u201d\u00a0 The event was a great success, as Rachael described in the March 2012 issue of AIC News<\/em>.\u00a0 There were 137,000 hits to the wiki during the month, 59 new articles were added, and over 100 supplemental pages.\u00a0 PMG had surveyed members and then set up two categories to populate during the event.\u00a0 One day per week was scheduled as a \u201cwrite-in\u201d day, when members knew they could email each other to confer as they posted their content.\u00a0 The Book Group in BPG set up a sample page for Creators to refer to, and it jump-started the creation of other pages.\u00a0 EMG set up an outline and template, and then scheduled a single \u201cwrite-in\u201d day for everyone to join in.\u00a0 Some groups, such as WAG, ASG, and the Paper Group in BPG, used the event as an impetus to identify people to spearhead their SG\u2019s nascent wiki efforts.\u00a0 OSG expanded their template, nearly doubled their number of Creators, and expanded content on a variety of topics, as well as adding new ones.\u00a0 CIPP and TSG both realized that their Listservs had threads that would make great pages, so that will be a next step.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Developments<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wiki software is outdated, and plans to update it are in development so that video can be embedded and the citation tool can be improved.\u00a0 The wiki home page was reorganized, and there is significant interest in translating some of the wiki pages.\u00a0 The first request came for a Russian translation of some of the content.\u00a0 The translation will also be available on the AIC Wiki.\u00a0 There\u2019s interest in a Spanish translation of the Paper catalog. \u00a0A section on \u201cThe History of Conservation and Conservators\u201d is in development and will include interviews from the FAIC Oral History Project.\u00a0 Quality control and peer review were discussed, and what processes might be set in place across SG\u2019s.\u00a0 A working group is in formation to propose a series of headers (such as the \u201cDraft\u201d header currently in use) that would designate the stage of peer review for each page.\u00a0 Contact Rachael (Rachael [at] amartconservation __ com) to join the group.<\/p>\n

Getting Involved<\/strong><\/p>\n

An online tutorial is available for those interested in learning how to post content, and Rachael encouraged potential wiki Creators to get in touch with her to get added to the wiki email list.\u00a0 The goal is to make the wiki a go-to resource for professional content for conservators, by conservators. One important note is that no one forfeits their rights to content they post on the wiki (the copyright agreement is what is used for post prints). \u00a0Members should feel that publishing on the wiki is a respected and valuable contribution to the field.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A key message of this session was this: your ongoing efforts to expand the wiki, whatever your time permits, are valued and appreciated!<\/p>\n
