Wikipedia:Not The Wikipedia Weekly

Not The Wikipedia Weekly is a grassroots project aiming to help connect and inform all contributors to Wikimedia Foundation projects through 'real world' conversations / podcasts. We host occasional Skype conference calls which are open to all, and we discuss various wiki issues of the moment. We want you to be involved! Anyone can host a conversation, and post the recording here, or just join a scheduled chat and listen / contribute as you see fit :-)

Episode 34 recap We had an exciting time creating the article for "Frog Legs Rag", a ragtime song that was the first commercial success for composer James Scott. Highlights include: Getting speedy deleted two minutes after the article was created. Shoemaker's Holiday's tireless--and very audible--MIDI work. Meeting and exceeding DYK requirements in one hour. The article is now start-class with an audio file, a restored copy of the sheet music cover, and a link to the complete sheet music which is hosted at Wikisource. Shoemaker's Holiday, Zginder, Gary King, and Durova have signed the DYK submission. Many thanks to Mitchazenia for recording the session. Other editors who contribute during the recording or afterward are welcome to add their names to the DYK entry. Let's continue improving the page and make it a good article.

It's just a simple page where you can stream all the files below if you like, and might in due course have clever things like an RSS feed, or something like that - when we figure that out... Below are links to externally hosted mp3 files of our conversations to date... perfect for long, sleepless nights, international air travel, or as an accompaniment to watching your recently-painted fence dry... Big thanks to User:Dtobias for setting this up - and we'll hopefully have something clever like an RSS feed before too long! (any help or advice on this would be appreciated, actually!) I'd probably recommend you save these files locally before listening... maybe by 'right clicking' and selecting 'save target as' or whichever browser message you get...
