We just finished the San Francisco hackathon, which was quite a success:
about 90 participants, more than a dozen project demonstrations, and a
lot of engagement with San Francisco technologists and designers. I
want to let you know that we ran a few tutorials that now have reference
notes/documentation available:
* Customizing your experience with JavaScript (using user scripts & Gadgets)
* Using our web API
* Building & working on a Wikipedia app for Android using Phonegap
I hope you find these tutorials useful as syllabi or references when you
are running your own meetups, hackathons, and other events. The links
are all centralized here:

The storytelling staff also helped us out by recording video and audio
of the tutorials so people can watch them later! They will upload those
recordings soon.
