Event[edit]

While the poor weather contributed to reduction in numbers users Graham87, Moondyne, Orderinchaos, Cygnis insignis, Twenty Years and Gnangarra still braved the rain for a pleasent afternoon. Most notably was the addition of two Willie Wagtails who enjoyed the scones with cream and jam. Graham87 provided an interesting insight into the challenges of editing with a visual impairment. Discussion about the frequency of meetups concluded that the event should occur with a higher frequency as a means of reducing the felt obligation to attend. There was also discussion on recently created articles like East Perth Cemeteries and the possibility of a formal WP:WA collaboration to which the discussion concluded that it would develop into a process for process sake not achieving sufficient results for the amount of effort require to maintain.

There was also discussion about recent RFA activity, noting that RFA is becoming more focused on process editors compared to 12months ago. We'd also like to acknowledge the staff of Tranby tea rooms and we can highly recommend the scones with jam and cream, just remember to keep a portion for the Willie Wagtails.Gnan garra 11:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
