Learning[edit]
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
Internet connectivity was good and participants was active in participation such as asking and answering questions as well the weather condition was good.
- What did not work so well?
1.Most of the participants was new hence most time was spent training how Wikipedia Articles are written instead of focusing on writing the targeted topic
2.According to some of the participants and some opinions from other members who registered to attend but didn’t show up gave their opinion that they respected the project, but the project was contradictory as apart from supporting increment of Women related content on Wikipedia, it also supported (LGBT issues) hence by that they felt uncomfortable with it as per their culture.
- What would you do differently next time?
Provision of local transport support .
