New articles
It was so much fun creating new articles that people kept creating them... and creating them...
People practiced editing in their sandboxes, beginning to develop possible articles or just trying out editing with an artist they knew. Everyone is invited to bring their computers to the next GLAM Café, March 10, 2015, where they can continue to develop their articles.
Three new user accounts were created at the event.
