 ==How do I get started?==
-You might think in the beginning that organizing a MozCamp event is going to be a lot of work, to be frank it will involve some coordination; but the event should be fun and from the very format of the event, others should soon be volunteering to help you.
+You might think in the beginning that organizing a MozCamp event is going to be a lot of work, to be frank it will involve some coordination; but the event should be fun and from the very format of the event, others should soon be volunteering to help you. MozCamp is all about sharing and participating in the open Web, we are sure you will soon find like-minded people to help.

 Its a good idea to set up a group email list so you can communicate with your fellow organizers and/or attendees easily. They may not always be checking the wiki page, and you may well need to ask for help, or communicate news and updates. You can also use this list to remind people a week before and the day before of the event taking place.
-===Add to the MozCamp Wiki===
+===Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki===
-Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki under "Upcoming MozCamps" (link needs to be added). This will allow you to be able to promote your event, and also provides a space for your event collaboration wiki.
+Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki under "Upcoming MozCamps" (URL needs to be added). This will allow you to be able to promote your event, and also provides a space for your event collaboration wiki. Also see [XXX Create a MozCamp Wiki]
-Create a wiki page, making sure you have some basic details noted such as a 'Main Page', where you will add the date and eventually the location and timing etc.
-A 'Register' page, where attendees can find an email address to sign up to join you. You will want to make sure they email you their First Name, Last Name, Email address, How they want to help / or take part, and any other information relevant to the event. Remember keep it simple, people generally only want to give their name and email address. Once a person has emailed to join the event, send them a note back, and add their name only to a roll call list of attendees shown on the Register page.
-"Planning' page is great starting point for areas you need help with, or work in progress pieces of the event.
-Feel free to expand the wiki as you see fit, maybe take inspiration from other MozCamp wiki event pages. Just remember simple is better, people will struggle to find all needed information if it is several pages deep.
-===Create an agenda===
-* Check out our MozCamp Sample Agenda page for some talking points to get you started. https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/SampleAgenda
-* Its also fine to have your event come together in an organic form. With a smaller group, you might want to create a schedule when you arrive for the event (just make sure participants are prepared to come and share / speak)
-* Your sessions can be brainstorms, more technical discussions, inspirational talks about the open Web and much, much more. Remember
-* Find more materials for inspiration on [https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/Sessions Session ideas] and look into available [https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/Slides Slides] you can use
