-The [[South-Western Ontario calendar]] and [[South-Western Ontario newsletter]] (temporary working titles) will be open evolving projects of and by the people of [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]], [[Essex County]], and beyond, to become online reference resources with self-printable flyers to distribute local regional information alone or with other publications (such as '''[[Druthers]]'''), with a focus on sharing critical information, to prepare for the worst, while hoping and striving for the best, and resisting the tyranny of government and corporate overreach.
-== Calendar and newsletter goals ==
-This [[South-Western Ontario calendar]] project should be tightly co-developed with the '''[[South-Western Ontario newsletter]]''' project.
-=== Aggregate and develop ===
-The goal is to collectively aggregate important freely available information, as well as develop and share new content.
-==== Mission statement ====
-We may want to remove as much confusion as possible by clearly defining [[WE Protect Freedom!#What we're about|#What we're about]], what we [[WE Protect Freedom!#Protect|#Protect]], what we [[WE Protect Freedom!#Reject|#Reject]], what we're [[WE Protect Freedom!#Ambiguous|#Ambiguous]] about, and what we [[WE Protect Freedom!#NEVER|#NEVER]] do - as was done on the '''[[WE Protect Freedom!#What we're about|WE Protect Freedom!]]''' page.  Perhaps we might draft a charter.
-=== Open content ===
-This open content (globally public) is not just for freedom and prepper folks, as we hope the wider public will not only become aware of important ideas and events they should learn about, but they may join our ranks.  (As always, be prepared for infiltrators, with balanced skepticism.)
-==== Private content ====
-Once we've established our open content practices and routines we may then learn and grow confidence in  how to grant private content access to individuals and groups with exclusive privileges - not just on Projex.Wiki but with whatever other social media platforms and networks we utilize.
-=== Alliances ===
-We hope to collaborate with '''[[Freedom Alliance Canada]]'''  and other networks.
-=== Decentralize ===
-[[File:Centralization to Distributed Decentralization.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Centralization / decentralization / distribution / distributed decentralization.]]
-Because a single point of failure is the easiest way for tyranny to stop and stomp on resistance, it's important we decentralize and distribute away from a central hub to a network mesh of information.  Projex.Wiki may be a good starting place to organize projects, but it should never be the only or last place that information resides.  Naturally we'll openly share developments, solutions, and ways we can collaboratively and openly share the calendar and newsletter projects.

-=== Working title ===
-The names of these projects ([[South-Western Ontario calendar]] and [[South-Western Ontario newsletter]]) are temporary titles to work with for now, until replaced with better long-term names, slogans, and branding ideas.  For more info see the [[#Open naming contests]] section below.
-=== More dreams ===
-Some long-term dreams may include:
-* starting with quarterly editions
-* shifting monthly editions
-* inspiring other regions to DIY (do it yourself), with or without our project as template, and/or utilizing Projex.Wiki
-* maybe co-develop podcast shows
-* what else?
-== Production management ==
-=== Content sources ===
-Groups and individuals may make announcements, post events, and share their schedules.
-* Action and freedom groups
-* Belief groups (atheists, Common Law, Natural Law, religions, etc.)
-* Charity groups
-* City, town, village, and regional authorities
-* Communications groups (arts and media, production, social media, technology, etc.)
-* Health and wellness groups
-* Individuals
-* Political groups (especially including fringe parties)
-* Politicians (especially including fringe candidates)
-* Prepper groups
-* Resources groups (education, employment, food, housing, makers, sales, etc.)
-=== Regions ===
-South-Western Ontario, starting with a focus on Windsor and Essex County.  As this project develops with clearer focus, goals, and organization on these wiki pages we may invite more communities and folks to participate.  (Feel free to suggest more places and topical categories to add to the bottom of this page.)
-=== Outreach ===
-Initial thoughts and actionable outline:
-* Draft up an introductory pressrelease-like outline to share.
-* Reach out to all the groups, political parties, and individuals of interest.
-* They should only share what they wish to share with the world.
-# 1st request for each group (optional)
-#: '''About'''
-#* Group name
-#* Group purpose
-#* Group meeting times / schedules / calendar of upcoming events
-#* Meeting location / general contact info / who to contact with questions
-#*: real world address and/or online sites and contact info
-# 2nd request for each group (optional)
-#: '''Articles'''
-#* Submit an article or few, from a paragraph to a half-page
-# 3rd request for each group (optional)
-#: '''Images'''
-#* Submit a cartoon, comic, design, graphic, illustration, image, meme, or photo
-#* Provide source
-#* Get permission if possible
-# 4th request for each group (optional)
-#: '''Themes'''
-#* Consider and discuss if we want overarching themes for newsletters
-# 5th request for each group (optional)
-#: '''About'''
-#* Consider and discuss whether we want to advertise or promote anything
-#* Consider and discuss what rules and guides we might establish (in a charter?)
-# 6th request for each group (optional)
-#* Help review the content
-#* Help format the content
-#* Help proof-read the content before release
-#* Help publish the content
-#*# Presented on Projex.Wiki
-#*# Email
-#*# PDFs may be self-printed by anyone anywhere
-#*# Print out and...
-#*# ...Distribute
-#*# Perhaps podcast news readers may develop audio/video shows
-=== Submissions ===
-Proposal (changeable):
-Once submitted all content will be openly shared, and potentially further developed, edited, and tweaked, here on Projex.Wiki.  Every wiki-page has a history of all edits and who made them.
-Content that may not make it into an issue might still be utilized later.
-We may develop and fine tune a '''[[Calendar and newsletter submissions guide]]''' to provide folks with a template of ideas they may draw from, along with rough limits for our purposes.  Distinctions may be outlined regarding community submissions, distinct from individual submissions.  Maybe something about ☐☑ drafting optional requests.
-Distinctive types of content are worth outlining:
-* Evolving lists, repeated in every issue (ie. groups, recommended links, resources)
-* Regular columns
-* Group updates, may or may not be in every issue
-* Irregular columns
-* Single issue articles
-* Single issue images
-We may keep evolving some lists, not only for collaborators, contributors, and editors, but to keep the public in the loop of what content we may need help with.
-* Articles lists
-** Needed articles list
-** Wanted articles list
-** Wish for articles list
-** Urgent articles list
-** ASAP articles list
-** Sooner articles list
-** Later articles list
-* Be aware of list
-** To avoid list
-* Events lists
-** Annual events list
-** Monthly events list
-** Weekly events list
-** Daily events list
-** Rare events list
-** One-time events list
-* Folks lists
-* Supplies lists
-** Advertisers lists?
-** Communities and groups lists
-** Editorial staff lists
-* Supplies lists
-* etc.

-== Communications ==
-We may collectively and openly decide how all this will be organized.
-One option is to use some of the [[WEFringe group email lists]], or even create others if necessary.  To join the list(s) that interest you, '''simply send an email with the subject "subscribe" to''' any or all of the 8 groups (so far).  '''WEFringe-REACH''' may be where most of the calendar/newsletter organizing might occur.

-== History ==
-[[File:StandUpWindsor.ca site-logo-2.png|thumb|right|250px|Logo from [https://StandUpWindsor.ca StandUpWindsor.ca].]]
-Discussed at least a year before the [[WEFringe newsletter]] wiki-page was started in March 2023, this idea is not new but finally has interest in getting things organized and happening.  As of the 2023-08-09 casual Wednesday-Minor meeting at [[Brown's Lounge]] in [[Windsor,Ontario]|Windsor], these calendar and newsletter projects will be revived with new a fervor.  In addition to the [[South-Western Ontario newsletter|newsletter]] wiki-page, a [[South-Western Ontario calendar|calendar]] wiki-page was started, then they were merged into one [[South-Western Ontario calendar and newsletter]] project until it becomes necessary to separate them.
-== Related ideas ==

-== Tech research ==
-Projex.Wiki will need to know what calendar extension(s) to install and learn how to operate them, among other much needed wiki tools.  Worth noting, Projex.Wiki is not only running [[MediaWiki]] but powerful [[Semantic MediaWiki]] (for anyone who can learn to use it).
