Involvement

Social media

Easiest to use Mediawiki Widgets which includes slide show, video, etc widgets that are served from third party sites (Google, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, etc). However it is best where possible to use the wiki itself for content (for example, calendar events) so that it can be reused within the site.

• June 28th - Wiki announced, soft launch
• August 30 - September, full launch
• Social media - July 19 with activity
