I think it'd be good to have the GE candidates as they're announced as
well, maybe we can do something around that?
Take a look at this, by the way - bit.ly/GE2017TechInitiatives - I am sure
wikipedians can improve this resource, or use it to improve wikipedia etc.
I won't be doing anything pro-active on the edit-a-thon front but I will
offer the space and support anyone organising - If anyone decides they want
to lead on this, please keep me updated. All you need to do is promote,
really.
