  • 7 who created Wikipedia accounts this quarter;

Technology programs

  • Open Government WikiHack at NARA. An outside expert set up new wikidata categories for us, e.g. on Supreme Court justices, and we filled some data in. relevant blog post
  • A member of our chapter wrote CongressEdits and we blogged about that. It is a design that can monitor edits by editors who did not log in to a wikimedia site -- focused just on Congress for now.
  • We installed and experimented with Lua on our own organization's wiki site. This is a relevant language for future wikicode.
