[edit] Introduction

In case this helps you: I'm a humanitarian aid worker specialising in Eastern Europe, and have home bases of one sort or another in Scotland and England.

[edit] Recommendations

Here are a couple of bits of suggested reading for everybody working on any collaborative online project, but especially this one...

• Why Wikipedia must lose its anti-éliteism (by one of its founders)

• How we very often misinterpret the tone of what we read (from Wired )

[edit] Shortcuts

• WikiMedia Commons upload
• Search English Wikipedia using Google
• Do something genuinely useful today
