Working with the Swedish User Group
There are many reasons to work with the Swedish User Group such as:


 * Group WikiProjects can be fun


 * Group projects are a great way to learn and practice new skills.


 * Group projects allow you to meet others who share a common interest.


 * Group WikiProjects allow you to accomplish more as a team than you could accomplish individually

There are lots of ways to join the User Group for Sweden. Like anything else in life, your level of participation is completely up to you. A list of active WikiProjects for Sweden is listed on the WikiProject Bulletin Board (see below.) Browse through the different projects to see if there is a project that sounds interesting and fun to you. If none of the WikiProjects look fun, feel free to suggest a new project. At first you might be the only person working on it, eventually more people may join in. Once you have 5 active participants the WikiProject is official and it is posted on the WikiProject Bulletin Board for Sweden.

Every WikiProject needs to have a Project Leader (or Leaders). The WikiProject Leader reports the progress of the WikiProject at the User Group Meeting for Sweden. The leader also keeps the WikiProject Page up to date.

Your participation with a WikiProject for Sweden automatically makes you a member of the Wiki User Group for Sweden. If you want, you can have your name added to the WikiProject Page where you are contributing. You can also show the WikiProject Sweden badge on your User Page like this:

This badge is added to your User Page by writing on your User Page with the Rich Editor off. When you click "Save Page" the badge will appear. If you would like someone to help with this let one of the Project Leaders know.

Here is a list of WikiProjects for Sweden. The signs are Swedish road signs that seemed fun and colorful. If you want to post a WikiProject for Sweden on the bulletin board, the picture could be something else.
