The term comes out of software development (particularly open source). You can read a bit about that here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_Day" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_Day</a><br /><br />In this particular case, what I mean is a time for anyone interested to get together and work on improving not so much the pleiades software as the content. So the idea is that I'll try to set aside everything else in my schedule -- and I'll encourage other Pleiades key team members to do the same -- and we'll be standing ready to help any and all Pleiades community members who want to make changes or additions to content. Community members needn't devote an entire day to the effort, but at least a couple of hours will be needed to make a significant contribution I suspect.<br /><br />The main focus I'm proposing for this first 'Pleiades hack day' is to improve titles and descriptions for "prominent" or well-known places.<br /><br />Does that help explain things?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480131160743773420noreply@blogger.com
