Hi Sarah and others;
Just letting you all know that we had a proper live edit marathon in
Bangalore, India in November 2010.

It would be great to have your input on meta:

Sarah,
Do you mean the first Wikimedia editathon, or the first editathon period?
Editathons predate Wikipedia by years, and are about as old as the wiki
itself. The old school name for them is "barn raisings".
