Upcoming interview with a wikia veteran (and a sneak peek)- a good mentor for the Japanopedia project

On January 27, 2008 in Announcements, Community building

Ok. I will have to make this post quick because unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time today.

Some background in case you are new:

Japanopedia is a project on wikia.com (from the creators of wikipedia). Here is a previous post about it, more explanation to come.

A few days ago Shun, organiser of the Japanese arm of Wikia, commented about Japanopedia. So I contacted him and asked him some questions.

One of those questions was:
What advice would you give for the Japanopedia wiki project going forward? How can we build a successful wiki?

He mentioned 4 important areas (see below). I am not going to post all of what he said just yet. But I just wanted to announce that I talked to him and he is trying to help however he can.

That’s all.
Have a great day!
