Measurable Outcome(s)
The target of articles submitted for Mnopedia was not met. At the end of the workshop participants expressed interest (indeed, commitment) to writing at least one entry, but the timeline that the workshop proposed was unrealistic. Six months out, participants report greater output in smaller writing projects
