 * Time: 10-11am EST
 * Place: MR-5 room 2005
 * Slides: Wiki for Computational Biology

Agenda
This event includes wiki editing. Please bring a laptop!


 * 0:00-0:10 - Orientation and tutorial for Wikipedia
 * 0:10-0:15 - demos
 * 0:15-0:25 - questions?
 * 0:25-0:30 - Lane offers office hour support

Minimum
The minimum target goal for participants in the editing workshop is the following:
 * 1) Register a Wikimedia account
 * 2) Add 1 sentence and 1 citation to any Wikipedia article
 * 3) Give one comment to a classmate's work
 * 4) Respond to any comments a classmate or anyone else directs to you

Doing this much will leave participants with insight into how Wikimedia projects work.

Contest
The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and WP:WikiProject Computational Biology host a Wikipedia editing competition every year. They describe this year's competition at
