Recruiting new committee members & chat

[fanloremod]

Are you interested in how Fanlore works behind the scenes? The Wiki committee is recruiting!

Wiki staff members are responsible for the day-to-day work of the Wiki committee. We respond to questions and complaints; shape Fanlore policies, categories, and tutorials; assist the gardeners; try to promote Fanlore; plan larger projects, and generally try to be as helpful as possible. No special experience is required, only the ability to work in a team and an interest in fannish history and Fanlore in particular.

If you are interested, please take a look at the volunteers page. Applications will be open until June 30th.

If you're not interested in a staff position, but would like to be a gardener, please contact the Wiki Committee.

To answer any questions you might have about volunteering, questions about Fanlore and editing in general, or to chat with fellow editors, we invite you to the Fanlore chat room on Saturday, 28 June at 14:00 UTC (What time is that where I live?). We hope to see you there!

Is the fanlore chatroom generally inactive? I've visited it a few times in the past in the hope of catching more experienced editors but it's always empty :( Where do people hang out?

There are people in the chatroom every day, but they tend to look around, see that it´s empty, and leave, so they keep missing each other. It´d be great if it was more active! And I´m grateful for ideas for how to do that.
Maybe we could suggest a few times a week to encourage people to visit at those times? Do you think that might work?
