Greetings all. In our last Standards group WebEx we talked about "diving in" and conforming some existing Wikipedia pages to our survey's needs. I told the group that I would take the Broadcast Wave format page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_Wave_Format). I had a meeting with some colleagues here at LC last week in order to discuss the rules regarding LC employees and use of Wikipedia. It turns out that yes, I can edit Wikipedia pages on the clock but I will have to get clearances before I can. It seems to me that because of my schedule it's unlikely that I will be able to get "cleared" to do Wikipedia editing any time soon. Since these strictures would not apply to any of you non-LC employees, I'm asking for someone from our group to step up and edit an existing page (doesn't have to be the Broadcast Wave page) to include the kinds of information in our early Google Docs spreadsheet. We have our next group WebEx in two weeks (Monday, November 7) and if we don't have at least one strawman Wikipedia page to kick around then we won't have much to talk about. Is there anyone in the group already working on this? If not, can someone step up and work on at least one Wikipedia page so we can get this project moving forward? Thank you all! I'm looking forward to talking with you in a couple weeks, Jimi Jimi Jones Digital Audiovisual Formats Specialist Office of Strategic Initiatives Library of Congress (202) 707-2846 [log in to unmask] ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-STANDARDS list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-STANDARDS&A=1
