Friday Free Software Directory IRC Meeting
or "FFSDIRCM"

This is an event held in the #fsf IRC channel on FreeNode, every
Friday starting in the evenings (Boston/Massachusetts time zone).
Essentially, it is a weekly gathering where people collectively
add/update information on http://directory.fsf.org/ which is a wiki
dedicated to listing as many free software packages as possible.
Coreboot (and also libreboot) are listed there.

Of course, people also contribute to it at other times of the week,
but Friday evenings are when there is the most activity. The idea is,
that it is a set time each week where lots of people come together and
try to improve the wiki as much as possible. This means that every
week, there is a burst of activity; this is also when the moderators
are most active, reviewing changes (coreboot wiki doesn't have
moderators, so this isn't relevant there).

Having such a date means that you are also advertising the existence
of the wiki, encouraging more people to contribute, who would
otherwise not contribute.

Essentially, my idea is to have something similar for the coreboot
wiki. Every week (on a set day - Friday evening is optimal, for
various reasons), people would come together and improve the wiki as
much as possible.

This could be anything from adding pages about boards in coreboot
which are not currently documented, improving existing pages, making
the wiki easier to read, and so on. Anything that improves the
efficiency of the wiki, so that it is a more effective source of
information for coreboot users and developers.

Thoughts?
