Hi all -
Today I helped run an editathon at an all-women's cooperative in Berkeley.
We attracted maybe fifteen or twenty people over the course of the day, and
focused most of our editing on prominent historical women active in the
cooperative movement. I think we created a number of neat articles,
although they all have a lot of room for improvement (which hopefully will
be coming in part from our new editors - engagement was much higher than I
am used to for an event like this!) We also improved a number of existing
articles.
sounds good. Keep up the good work.
I should note that I successfully used Wikipedia as an analogy for open source
collaboration and the fact that "in open source/open content/etc., everyone
contributes a brick and in exchange everyone gets their own house" at the booth
of the Israeli open source community over at the Olamot Science Fiction/Fantasy
conference in Tel Aviv, which seemed like a huge success. Here is my report on
the event and some photos I took:

Emacs is a nice operating system, but what it lacks, in order to compete with
Linux, is a good text editor.
