<div class="im">> That was the original idea behind Wikipedia Day, as far as I know! I see no reason why we wouldn't revisit the event annually on this day.<br>
<br>
</div>In addition to having a "big day" once a year, I generally love the<br>
idea of having more "event kits" for different kinds of purposes that<br>
we can ship throughout the year (together with continually improving<br>
best practices, repositories of visualizations and outreach materials,<br>
etc.). We'll need to do some internal post-morteming on this<br></blockquote><div><br>And it's not over! We're doing our event in Washington DC this Saturday [1] (so the NYC folks, Phoebe, and others can attend).<br>
<br>We already have learned a lot from organizing this event, and hope to
build upon this experience to do more events on a more regular basis including something each January.<br><br>-Katie<br><br>[1] <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiXDC">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiXDC</a><br>

experience to see if this is a habit we can get into more regularly.<br>
But I for one certainly see <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">ten.wikipedia.org</a> as a great pilot for<br>
supporting distributed events around the world.<br>
<br>
Throwing in some general comments: Thanks to Steven and all who helped<br>
with it, and all who organized, attended or supported celebrations.<br>
The event in SF was awesome, and the photos from the world-wide events<br>
show the incredible energy and strength of Wikimedia in the year 2011.<br>
Please, folks, upload more images to Commons :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Erik<br>
