YWAMKnowledgeBase:Sprint Brussels 2010

After the great success of the Sprint in Berlin we decided to have another Sprint this year! We invite you all to come and join us. This time we gather together in Brussels, but you are also very welcome to join us on the Skype chat.



About the Sprint
Once or twice a year we organise a YWAM KB Sprint Meeting where we meet face to face or on Skype and work together on the YWAM Knowledge Base. It is also a great time for us to encourage each other and to meet new KB users. We also make our meeting open for everyone who wants to join us on Skype.

Our purpose is to multiply the work of Youth With A Mission by providing this wiki website, where anyone working with YWAM can share their Knowledge and Experience from the worldwide mission field.

Goals
It is important to stay focused so we have to set our goals. We like to invite you to help create an Open Space in which we can share our ideas and point out what is important.

Your ideas are:

Kevin: Steve:
 * I think we need to work to get one or two area's of the KB up to an EXCELLENT standard. We have some very complete areas but they need some more polish. This is perhaps the most important thing we could do to promote the site and drive interest in the KB. Nice publicity is probably not as vital as a wealth of resources...
 * I also suggest we work on the Personal Fundraising area. Every YWAMer is seeking help here. If we present the fullest and most helpful resource then we will draw more and more YWAMers to us. We are of course Youth Without Any Money!
 * DTS - for similar reasons
 * Continuing the autodidactic discussion: http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/12/05/1542231/Using-the-Web-To-Turn-Kids-Into-Autodidacts


 * http://www.web.mindshop.com/
 * Video headings
 * SOE and other school pagesetc

PitPat:
 * Check Email Template - add a "how to unsubscribe notice" (now that watchlist changes are sent by default)
 * HastyBot: why isn't he adding the dead links? Maybe code the abbreviation-link-bot.

Skype
