Revision as of 05:14, 27 October 2007

The Meeting has been extended to a fourth session, Saturday, June 24th, 17h (5PM) UTC (19h CEST...), on IRC channel #anarchopedia on irc.indymedia.org.

The First General Meeting took place on May 20th, 2006, 19h (7PM) UTC (21 CEST...) and continued with sessions on 3, 18 and 24 June.

After year and half we have enough people to start to talk about the leading of Anarchopedia by the community. While communities around language-based Anarchopedias organized their work, there is a lot of open questions about general issues. However, we didn't talk a lot of this issues and I think that the first meeting should have two parts: (1) brainstorming about Anarchopedia (any ideas: analyse of the present and past situation(s), ideas for the future etc.) and (2) some practical organizational issues (like "how often we need to make general meetings?"). --Milos Rancic 14:25, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Ideas for The First General Meeting

Millosh's ideas

Papers for the meeting

1. We are working on wiki and IRC (as well as mailing lists) is our secondary communication channel. I think that General Meeting is place and time for gathering community and faster talk about some specific issues; and wiki should be used for longer and better discussions. So, my first idea is that all of us should prepare her/his own personal (or collective :) ) view about Anarchopedia, so we can talk about them on General Meeting (as well as we can talk about them on this wiki). (If you don't know English well, don't afraid to write what do you think about Anarchopedia; majority of us are not native speakers of English...) For the beginning, we can use name space of this article for papers. (For example, place for my paper is 1st General Meeting/Millosh's paper.) --Milos Rancic 14:25, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

1st General Meeting/thoughts by X

Technology team

I think we need a technology team. It can not be that guanaco must everything do alone. The task of meta should more works on the technical problems. The English Anarchopedia should split from this. ---> Topics of anarchism should only printed on meta if it connecting the system of anarchopedia. I would vote for spliting between content and organization. (Excuse my bad English, if You understand me, it's ok.) ... for the first --X 07:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
