No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

In Summer Session 2019, Dr. Alexandra Edwards's class "Writing Women Back into STEM History" undertook a research project with the goal of producing public-facing Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia's education intitiative has held up Dr. Edwards' students' work as a successful model of their mission to close the gender gap on Wikipedia. An article published on WikiEducation celebrates her class' contributions to the site and highlights the work of the women they researched and about whom they wrote new biographies.
You can read the full article by Cassidy Villeneuve here.
Dr. Edwards also published a brief description of her summer teaching experience in a TECHStyle article, "7 Brittain Fellows Reflect on Summer Pedagogical Experiments in First-Year Writing," if you'd like to read more about her class.
