This is page where you can find various jobs that would really help Wikimedia UK move forward. These jobs vary, some online, some based at specific locations, some with deadlines, others more open ended.
Online
Finalise Wikimania wiki
It would be great if the Wikimania 2014 wiki could be a lasting record of all the great things that happened.
The to do list lists things that need doing, including adding videos and images and quite a bit of curation.
There is some discussion on the talk page, including whether or not it is reasonable to set a deadline.
Automated renaming of pages in dated series
Following a discussion at Engine room/2014#Naming of pages in dated series, there is a need for someone to rename a load of pages, ideally using a bot or similar.
There are pages with names like Agenda 29Jun10. It was decided that this was, for many people, less easy to read than the ISO8601 date format, specifically YYYY-MM-DD. The advantage of the ISO format is that it also makes AJAX search-box suggestions work well, letting people find the relevant items easily.
The various pages of format X DDMMMYY need to be moved to X YYYY-MM-DD. The old-format pages need to be redirects to the new pages, so that various links are not broken.
