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>
<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>
<p>b. automatically identifying and flagging dead links on active
profiles and marking them as dead links on profiles<br>
</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)<br>
</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>
<p>Looking forward to hearing from you :-)</p>
<p>Much love</p>
<p>Aimee xxx<br>
