I'd love to see WikiProject AIDS get a bit more love.
I've been putting together a to-do list with source suggestions. Fancy a
chat over coffee sometime to see what and when might be good?
Or is that a bit too much editathon shaped for what you're looking for?

Should we then say that we will do the first workshop on FA writing in
November? November has 5 weeks, so perhaps we should do it in the fourth week of the
month? What about Tuesday 20th? Or Wednesday 21st?
We couldn't do one in December if we are doing it in the last week of
the month, so should we skip December and do the one after in January?
I would appreciate some more feedback from people about whether they
would turn up, and what subjects they would like to see covered.

sort of snacks are important - remember that many attendees will be coming straight from
work. We also used to designate a pub for the end of the evening.

don't want to give some people an hour to kill after work or exclude others because
they can't slope off work early.

again.
