Open Knowledge Foundation Blog

After a fairly quiet period over the last 6 months development will be hotting up again thanks to discussion at Open Knowledge 2008 and the involvement of Iain Emsley (who will be focusing especially on a sister Milton project). To kick this off we’re planning a mini-hackathon:

• Wiki page: (sign up here) http://www.okfn.org/wiki/MiniEvents
• When: Saturday 26th of April. Start at 1400 and run until ~ 1900
• How long: Whatever time you can spare. Be it an hour or the whole afternoon.
• How to join in: log in to the irc channel, announce yourself, and then just crack on with one of the work items (see below)
  • irc channel: #okfn on irc.oftc.net
• What: plan and work on Open Shakespeare / Milton
  • trac: http://knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/trac/roadmap
  • Current tickets: http://knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/trac/report/1
  • For those not inclined to coding there’s plenty else to do. In particular we need to finish off proof editing Britannica entry, see http://wiki.okfn.org/p/Open_Shakespeare/Britannica
