| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | *'''Editing Policy?'''
| |
− | This came up for Jonathan in regard to Esther Newton's students exhibit on Lesbian history. I think the title should be changed to something like "Lesbianism in the United States in the 20th Century." Also, is it OK to break up the long paragraphs into smaller ones for web reading, to make them look less formiddable? What about copy edits for clarity and grace?
| |

| |
− | :Deadline? Put on Upcoming on News page
| |
− | | |
− | | |

− | *'''Mentoring system?'''
| |
− | :Can we provide this for unexperienced researchers, writers?
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | *'''My History'''
| |
− | :Should we add a function with this name to "my" section of the red bar? The idea would be to encourage people to write little mini-histories of themselves, encouraging the idea that everyone is important. We would put a little note to that effect at the top of the section. History from the ground up. History of "ordinary" people. Memoir can be powerful. First person testimony is powerful. Is this different than blogging?
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | *'''Networking'''
| |
− | :Should we establish specific easy ways that researchers interested in particular topics can network with each other? If so, how? This could turn out to be very popular, JNK thinks.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | *'''Operation of the site'''
| |
− | :Make it transparent. Make the policy transparant. Make who is responsible for what transparant. Put the budget on the site. Put the job functions on the site.
| |
− | | |
− | | |

| |
− | :Popular and Scholarly!
| |
− | :Two parts: content by named authors and content provided by anyone with data, documents, and citations to share.
| |
− | :Present site is a PROTOTYPE with a sampling of the wide variety of content and types of written, audio, and visual materials that can eventually go on it.
| |
− | :What defines an LGBTQ history site as opposed to an LGBTQ encyclopedia? or an LGBTQ archive? JNK thinks we need to keep stressing this and figuring out how to actively, creatively make the site historical.
| |
− | :Repurposing old historical work for a new web audience. Taking out of print articles and books that no one else will make as readily accessible and making them readily accessible.
| |
− | | |
− |
| |
− | *'''Publicity Volunteer?'''
| |
− | :JNK email Sarah
| |

| |
− | :New York Historical Society
| |

| |
− | | |

− | *'''Stub'''
| |
− | :Urge users to create stub categories if they want to know about a subject/topic and there is no entry for it. "If you don't see something, write something."
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | *'''Uploads'''
| |
− | Do we have the capacity now to upload audio and video or movies? We should have at least one sample of each on the site by the time we go on line. By the way, what happened to the Evelyn Hooker video?

− | MERRYMOUNT About 1626, according to William Bradford, Thomas Morton and the other male settlers at Merrymount were guilty of "great licentiousness." The men's consorting with Indian women is mentioned, along with "worse practices" associated with ancient Roman feasts. Bradford said that Morton and his men "set up a maypole,drinking and dancing about it many days together, inviting the Indian women for their consorts, dancing and frisking together like so many fairies, or furies, rather; and worse practices. As if they had anew revived and celebrated the feasts of the Roman goddess Flora, or the beastly practices of the mad Bac-' chanalians." Subject for research: It would be interesting to know just what feasts and "beastly practices" Bradford had in mind; see his Of Plymouth Plantation, pp. 204-06; Oaks, 'Things Fearful,' " p. 269.

Hello and welcome to OutHistory.org.
Thank you signing up and contributing to the project. Here are a couple of things you may find helpful as you navigate your way through the site:
- First, we suggest that you set up the correct time zone for yourself by visiting the preferences page. This will allow you see when articles have been posted and edited according to your local time, rather than Greenwich Mean Time. Click on the "Date and time" tab and simply click on the "Fill in from the browser" button to determine your time zone automatically. You can also set other useful defaults on the preferences page.
- Next, try editing your own user page to tell others a bit about yourself and get familiar with editing. You can access your user page by clicking on your username on the top of the sidebar.
- Each user on OutHistory has a user page and a talk page. Use your and others talk pages for discussion and communication. Just like on Wikipedia, it's a standard practice to indent your paragraphs one level further when engaging in a discussion. Type a single or multiple colons before each of you paragraphs to indent text (::Like this). Sign your edits automatically by typing four tilde characters (~~~~). If your discussion concerns a single article, edit that article's discussion page instead.
- Finally, for advanced editing see editing help and above all, experiment on the sandbox page rather than a real article page.
