Good afternoon all, <br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>I was at the 35c3 meeting where we discussed the need for a
content review:</p>
<p>1. short term solution - systematically go through listings to
verify status and update content<br>
</p>
<p>2. long term solution - find good long term solutions for
keeping the data current and up to date</p>
<p>I have volunteered to coordinate this effort and would love to
get started initially by finding out if there are other
interested parties out there willing to help. <br></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you *very much* for volunteering! :)</div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="moz-forward-container"><p>
</p>
<p>1st stage - help needed with:</p>
<p>a. sending a mailshot out to all active hackerspaces with a
contact email address on their profile to elicit action and
updating profile pages - I can draft an email - can someone do
the sending?<br></p></div></div></blockquote><div>I can do the sending and querying if email addresses (thanks Ex!). I can also take care of translating the draft in Italian and Slovenian. Maybe we could put it in the wiki in a /meta section?</div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="moz-forward-container"><p>
</p>
<p>b. automatically identifying and flagging dead links on active
profiles and marking them as dead links on profile</p></div></div></blockquote><div>I checked out the Italian list manually at 35c3. mwfc or anyone else, what would be the best way to signal that a link is down?</div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="moz-forward-container"><p>
</p>
<p>c. visit hackerspaces in your area and updating their profile
or asking them to update their profile accordingly - think of
this a human verification to make sure they are still active and
run by people (as opposed to corporate bots)</p></div></div></blockquote>Great, I’m already planning a mini trip through Italy, probably in spring :)<br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="moz-forward-container"><p>
</p>
<p>d. working with me on the harder cases ie where this is no
contact info and only deadlinks to update profiles to identify
whether the space is truly still active somehow before amending
them to inactive</p></div></div></blockquote><div>I can assist, we should probably have a Category for these special cases, or a list on the wiki.</div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>Looking forward to hearing from you :-)</p>
<p>Much love</p>
