Content plan

Introduction

This is a guide to what we'd like the wiki to cover in the future. If you're looking for something quick to do today, then take a look at the ORG Wiki:To-Do list.

Process

Firstly we will devise a schema for this wiki, to establish what should be on it. We will then prioritise particular content to develop.

Many of the pages in this plan are out of date. They should be added to Category:Out_of_Date.

Purpose of the wiki

The purpose of this wiki is to:

• Support ORG's campaigning goals to support digital rights
  • Provide an education, training and background resource for activists
• Document the current state of digital rights and issues in legislation and policy
• Document the actors influencing the future of our digital rights
• Record press coverage of key issues including links

What we need to monitor

The main need is to monitor organisations and individuals who are influencing our rights, positively or negatively. Thus the wiki can be a source of intelligence for campaigners and activists.

Who is involved / responsible

Volunteers, staff, advisory and interns are all welcome to contribute. Specific responsibilities include

• Events and Communities Officer: supervision of the project
• Wiki intern: an intern post specifically to help develop the wiki
• Wiki editors: volunteers who wish to contribute to specific pages, sections, categories or more generally
• MP adopters: volunteers who Adopt an MP and make notes on their positions, votes and written responses
