Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
I might be interested in going this year. <br>
<br>
<br>
Might it be feasible to get a couple of minutes on the agenda
to discuss Wikipedia and wikis in general -- plus perhaps a
break-out session devoted to wikis? <br>
<br>
<br>
The Wikipedia article on SOPA received a million views between
Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. Clearly, any work to improve
an article like that has high leverage. <br>
<br>
<br>
The California Greens have a wiki (<a
href="http://wiki.cagreens.org/">http://wiki.cagreens.org</a>),
but it has very little content and very little activity. I believe
the minimal content and activity is due to the fact that you have to
have permission from someone like Marnie Glickman or Mike Feinstein
to even post a comment. I suspect they are afraid of sabotage. If
they opened it to edits by anyone, I believe they will get some
sabotage, but the sabotage they get will be vastly outweighed by new
people coming in, seeing an opportunity to contribute. It could
become a new recruiting tool for the Greens. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>
Spencer <br>

<div><font size="4">Folks! We usually have tabling at the
Berryessa Arts and Wine Festival which is held the Saturday
before Mother's Day (this year May 12th). I am not going to
be able to table at that event this year because the next
GPCA Plenary is scheduled for that weekend in San
Francisco. If you are not planning to help with that
tabling event and also do not have family commitments for
that Sunday (aka Mother's Day), please consider being a
GPSCC delegate or alternate for that meeting. Warner</font></div>
