Impressions[edit]

Where do you plan to recruit these new editors?

This is the fundamental question for me, because the origin of these people will tell a lot about how can you plan in terms of outcomes and target subjects to be developed in each Wikipedia. --Solstag (talk) 22:05, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Solstag, this is a very important point, I have added or developed it further in the content page. --Thuvack (talk) 14:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mention some areas that a community of small wiki would like to contribute, but what would be a process to figure out what do these people actually want to contribute?

This goes along the same line of the previous question. The focus should always be the community, what people have you recruited and what are their interests that may be valuable for those small wikis. Although it is certainly very important to have a list of possibilities to inspire them, like the one you already have.--Solstag (talk) 22:05, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am still thinking around this one. The idea is to "soft-start" them into something that is controlled and once recruited they can gain confidence to realize that they are good enough to run their own individual projects on areas of their personal interests.--Thuvack (talk) 14:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thuvack! I read the updates and appreciate them. Another way I could think of recruiting and finding a topic would be to find people already interested in sharing information about a common topic of interest; but given that you are in a context of small communities of people who speak those languages, the procedure you've documented and this idea of soft-start seems more fruitful. Glad we're in touch! --Solstag (talk) 20:46, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
