Then it seems the Public Policy Initiative and some others will be having all the fun ;)

Late friday to early saturday UTC? Very unlikely to happen. Most people I know on a Friday night want to be out winding down from a week at work, not sitting in front of their PC's editing Wikipedia. Friday night to saturday morning is prime "relaxation" time, and I'd imagine the kind of time most people would prefer to be putting their feet up, clubbing or down the pub.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Did you like Wikipedia:Spotlight? Try "Editing
Friday"!
Wikipedia:Spotlight [1] is an inactive project that many of you are
probably familiar with. The concept is, real-time collaboration on
building a specific article.
When it worked well, Spotlight was a great project; it gave
participants a taste of the best of Wikipedia and the feeling of
community and common purpose. Relative newcomers could learn from old
hands, and with many people pitching in, major articles could see huge
improvements in a short time. The downside is that it was hard to
keep momentum up, and most of the time there was simply nothing
happening.
Some of the Wikipedia Ambassador Program participants are trying to
revive the best parts of Spotlight with Editing Fridays [2]. Instead
of one collaboration after another, we set a specific time to
collaborate: late Friday to early Saturday UTC. Please join us this
Friday!
