WikiQueer:Working groups

WikiQueer's Working Groups are created by The Aequalitas Project, Global Advisory Board or Lead Administrator to coordinate specific aspects of WikiQueer management that typically require more technical permissions and access to The Aequalitas Project, Global Advisory Board or Lead Administrator than is typically required by WikiProjects, Portals or other organized activities within WikiQueer.

Communications Working Group

Operations Working Group
WikiQueer's Operations Working Group coordinates the technical aspects of WikiQueer never seen by editors or readers, but necessary to keeping our sites online. That includes keeping our servers online, software up to date, developing new technical resources, managing technical overhead costs and responding to the technical inquires of the WikiQueer community.

Outreach Working Group
The Outreach Working Group focusing on expanding the diversity of WikiQueerians and our content partners. Their efforts focus on volunteer recruitment and retention, partnership development and outreach to our various communities (LGBT, wiki, academia, etc.).

These tasks are currently being overseen by WikiQueer's Global Advisory Board. Check back here for more information on the working group's future development.

Resource Management Working Group
The Resource Management Working Group assists with management of WikiQueer's primary resources - volunteers, consultants and finances. The actual content of WikiQueer content are owned by the WikiQueer community and not the project itself. Technical resources are not (yet) owned by WikiQueer or The Aequalitas Project, hence oversight of these leased resources are handled by WikiQueer's Operations Working Group. Volunteers are the backbone of WikiQueer and the program's most important resource. Consultants are utilized to help with infrastructure development of the WikiQueer project, such as public relations, fundraising and other tasks typically undertaken by staff. Finances are necessary for keeping any program with WikiQueer's scale operational.

They focus on non-technical operations such as legal, accounting, human resource management, and other generally "behind the scenes" tasks necessary to keep any large community project going.

These tasks are currently being overseen by The Aequalitas Project with support from WikiQueer's Global Advisory Board. Check back here for more information on the working group's future development.
