The purpose of this document is to identify community outreach that will be conducted by the workgroup members to insure that Wikipedians and GLAMs get the opportunity to learn about the project, possibly turn them into advocates of the GLAM Wiki Toolset. The Wikimedia Commons Toolset pages will be used as a primary tool for information sharing and project updates.
Depending on the development of the tool, community outreach will be completed in the following schedule. This plan will be regularly evaluated by the group members and may be adjusted to be more effective:
This page contains the organisational timeline for GLAMwiki Toolset beta launch, to be used and consulted by the involved people of the project.
For your convenience we have added from 1 to 3 stars for each task to give an indication about their importance. As remarked above, beside very few exceptions in bold, their scope is purely indicative:
- - very important task to do (MUST)
- - important tasks: these are structural to the tool (SHOULD)
- - normal tasks (COULD)
- - optional tasks: from nice to very nice to have (WOULD LOVE)
