−
A hackathon usually occurs every two or three months. This is a dedicated time where people come together on Pnut to hack, design, code and create things for Pnut that you otherwise wouldn't work on.
+
Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).
  
−
== Q & A ==
+
== How it works ==
  
−
==== Do you have to be a developer? ====
+
Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag [https://pnut.io/tags/WedC #WedC] (preferred) or [https://pnut.io/tags/WednesdayChallenge #WednesdayChallenge] if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!
−
No, we will be providing suggestions for non-developers to work on. Some project idea/goal categories we've come up with so far are:
 
−
* Ways to engage users (including you, of course!)
 
−
* How to introduce and familiarize new users to Pnut.io
 
−
* Essay-format writings about what Pnut.io means to you
 
  
−
==== How can I participate? ====
+
=== More answers to questions ===
−
Signing up is not required - however we ask that you drop a note in [https://patter.chat/room/212 the hackathon chat room] to let us know that you're planning to participate. Please drop in on us on that day to mix, get support, and bounce ideas around, as well. We plan for people to meet and organize in that room before moving off to their own individual project-based discussions.
 
  
−
==== Do you have to have an idea in mind already? ====
+
* An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
−
No, other people will be sharing their ideas for projects.
+
* Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
 +
* Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous characters of tag is silly.
  
−
==== Do I have to work in a group? ====
+
== History ==
−
No, you can work on your own if you'd like to.
 
  
−
==== How long will it run? ====
+
On [[App.net]], [[@nitinkhanna]] called for the first Wednesday Challenge{{ref|first}} and @duerig, creator of [[Patter]], suggested it be a weekly thing{{ref|first_suggestion}}. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.{{ref|writers_room}}, who introduced the #hourofwriting{{ref|hour_of_writing}}, a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.
−
The hackathon will take place over the weekend.
 
  
−
==== What happens when the hackathon ends? ====
+
=== Previous Prompts ===
−
We hope that you'll submit an explanation of what you did in the chat room and/or globally. Your project does not have to be complete--it can still just be in the ideas/planning phase, even! It can be as simple as a short note of what you worked out and want to share with the community.
 
  
−
==== Does my project have to be done by the end of the hackathon? ====
+
'''2020'''
−
Absolutely not. We're just hoping to get similarly-minded people together to get projects started. BUT if you do work on your project *after* the hackathon, please let us know, too!

Revision as of 09:05, 23 September 2020

Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).

How it works

Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag #WedC (preferred) or #WednesdayChallenge if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!

More answers to questions

  • An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
  • Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
  • Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous characters of tag is silly.

History

On App.net, @nitinkhanna called for the first Wednesday Challenge[1] and @duerig, creator of Patter, suggested it be a weekly thing[2]. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.[3], who introduced the #hourofwriting[4], a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.
