Action Items<br />
* James Burk to meet with Nicole (& record call) to get her approval for Marspedia to publish her content with a specific content license, including attribution preservation.<br />
* Add a disclaimer section that our choice of licensing for content doesn't apply to the other wikis.<br />
* Add more needed articles to [[Needed Articles]] page and prioritize it.<br />
* Create a list of topics that we want to cover on Marspedia, and use that to add more to [[Needed Articles]].<br />
* Create a teacher landing page with links to key articles and a call to action for teachers to write for us.<br />
* Set up an editorial calendar, and allow volunteer editors to sign up for shifts - James Burk to set up & manage this.<br />
* ''Referred to Technical Subcommittee:'' clean up tag templates so that there is a clear set that can be used for tagging articles as needing various things.<br />
* ''Referred to Technical Subcommittee:'' update the Mediawiki skin used from current Monobook to newer Vector (or a custom version of Vector). This is a prerequisite for updating the home page.<br />
<br />
===Slack===<br />
<br />
We have set up a Slack (which is a chat tool similar to IRC or instant messaging) to coordinate the activities of the Editorial Subcommittee.<br />
<br />
Here is the invite to [https://join.slack.com/t/marspedia/signup '''Join our Slack'''].<br />
<br />
=== Editorial Shift Calendar ===<br />
We have a Google Calendar we are using to monitor the wiki and to ensure there is always an editor "on call" to review new submissions. Here is a [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=bWFyc3NvY2lldHkub3JnX2dxdTd0aHJvcXN2bzhiY2c2aDVnNGNkdG0wQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20 Read-Only View of the Editorial Calendar]. To add events, you have to be invited to the calendar and visit the [http://calendar.google.com Google Calendar] application. Email [mailto:jburk@marspedia.org James Burk] for an invite.<br />
<br />
===Email List===<br />
<br />
We can be reached using the email list [mailto:marspedia-editorial.gp@marssociety.org marspedia-editorial.gp@marssociety.org]. You can join the list by visiting [https://groups.google.com/a/marssociety.org/forum/#!forum/marspedia-editorial.gp/join this link].<br />
<br />
===Marching Orders from the Council===<br />
<br />
We need to determine what content is needed on the wiki, the process for assigning out & approving new content, and how the editorial committee can keep momentum, either through regular weekly working sessions or some of type of Slack-like tool. It would be great to redesign the home page as well to add some graphics and make it easy for new volunteers to plug in quickly.</div>Kerri
