A MINICON TIMELINE
Each department has its own timeline of tasks that need to be done in the year leading up to the con. This is an attempt to coordinate the timelines of all the departments. It's meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive.

Moderator Tip Sheet
The Moderator Tip Sheet was developed by the Programming Committed for Minicon 24. Besides general tips on how to plan and run a panel at an SF convention, the Tip Sheet includes a handy dandy worksheet for the moderator to use before and during the panel. Now and then other cons ask if they can use it. We always say yes.

Blog is the traditional drink of Minicon. It's a sweet fruit punch, typically spiked with liberal amounts of vodka. The nonalcoholic variant is referred to as "St. Paul blog" for historical reasons. See the Blog Recipe.
Account creation & editing privileges
How do you register to be able to edit this wiki? The Mnstf wiki has been the victim of large numbers of spammers. Because of this, we've set it so that only administrators can make accounts, so please contact one of them to register. They are, as of 2023, User:Dd-b:DD-B, Rachel, Laurel and Matt Strait.
Note to sysops and people trying to edit the wiki: People need to be in the "approved" group in order to edit pages (it's not good enough to just have an account, since lots of spambots have accounts already).
