A friend and I did this a few weeks ago (without the wine, being underage and whatnot)! We cooked an Indian feast and as everything simmered, we settled in and wrote a couple articles together, one of which was a DYK a few days later. It was so fun and we are making plans to collaborate again via Skype! I think this is a great way to get women involved.

Awesome blog by Siko about the recent Wikipedia editing party she held recently. She invited a small group of girlfriends over and they drank wine and edited Wikipedia!
Inspiring enough that I've decided to have a "Wiki, Wine with Women" party at my house Friday for a group of girl friends!
