I would also like to see us do something like

similar, given the fact that we were unable to take part in last
February's "Wikis Love Art" because our museums did not get back to us
in time.
See<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Britain_Loves_Wikipedia> as an
example of a future event. I think we might even plan something for
sooner, on a smaller scale. Heck, I'm even willing to devote myself
under "volunteer time" for something like this :)
If we want to concentrate on San Francisco and Bay Area local history
and local curiosities, it might be interesting to organize something
with these folks:
http://foundsf.org/
They're using MediaWiki for their community-built history project, and
seem to be poking around with CC stuff.
I met briefly with one of their folks at a meetup earlier this year and
keep meaning to run around town and take photos for it but just haven't
had the time -- taking current photos from the same angle to compare to
historical ones is always a crowd-pleaser!
