[Wikipedia-l] Wikipedia as community service

[Greg Andrews]

As part of a college class I am in, we are required to, along with at
least a few other students, do 10 hours of community service.  We are
allowed to present our ideas to the class for others to join our
cause.

My thought is to use Wikipedia as a community service project.  Pledge
to spend those 10 hours (ideally non-consecutive) editing, cleaning,
and writing for Wikipedia.

I'm set to propose this idea to my class tomorrow.  Has anyone done
something like this before, and what are you opinions on it?
