Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
Yes to some extent we did even though we were met with obstacles including blocked IP which affected almost all the participants. But beyond the goals, it provided a homely and relax setup for queers to contribute and learn about Wikipedia.
