WikiQueer:Advisor Invitation

Greetings,

I would like to personally invite you to join me as an advisor on an exciting web initiative to help vastly expand the amount of accurate information online for and about the LGBTQ communities! This is an opportunity I think you'd be excellent for and one I'm extending to a diverse group of people. Identifying as queer and expertise as a wiki guru or LGBT studies expert are NOT requirements!

WikiQueer is an opportunity for:
 * Wiki-enthusiasts
 * Leaders in the LGBTQ communities
 * Grassroots organizers
 * Educators
 * Public policy advocates
 * Researchers
 * Anyone else interested in learning more or sharing more about the LGBTQ communities

While the potential for the WikiQueer is almost limitless - the primary goal is simple - to spread accurate and valuable information about the LGBTQA communities. If you've been sent this link - it's because I believe you have something important to contribute to that effort!

In case you're not familiar with the concept, a wiki is a community based approach to creating an online encyclopedia on any particular topic. In this case - WikiQueer is an opportunity to share historical, scientific, factual, political or any other pertinent and valuable information without the restrictions in place by existing wiki projects such as Wikipedia.

I know that because you are talented - that you are also very busy. I've done my best to keep that in mind while designing the Advisory Board and the responsibilities of its members. The board's homepage provides a more detailed explanation of what your role and responsibilities would be. Here is an excerpt from that page: Expectations

Members of the Council are expected to donate at least 1-3 hours a month to the project.

This time can be used in a variety of ways. That includes, but is not limited to:
 * Getting the word about the project out
 * Helping develop strategic plans
 * Expanding WikiQueer's content
 * Suggesting new initiatives
 * Developing your own ideas further
 * Securing funding for WikiQueer
 * Developing or presenting online trainings

If you are indeed interested in joining the Global Advisory Board, and I sincerely hope you are, please create an account on WikiQueer and then contact me personally or utilize this site's contact form. Be sure to mention what username you picked when creating your WikiQueer account. Once I have heard from you - we can discuss how you'd like to be involved. Individuals that join prior to or during the soft launch will be designated Inaugural Members of the Global Advisory Board and receive special recognition.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me personally or fill out this site's contact form.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this exciting undertaking,

-Gregory Varnum
