Would it be possible to slap an editathon to this, so that we could have something to train our new professors who don't have a clue about editing but want to teach their students how to use Wikipedia?

I've asked Adam Hyland, a Boston wikipedian who works at the swank software-house Bocoup, if they might have space we could use in their demesne that week.
You would also all be welcome at the Berkman Center - I could find a room for us all in the new Wasserstein building at Harvard -- more academic, less startup-culture. (more people hacking on annotation :-)
Either way, I'd be glad to spend those weekdays in a shared space. And other Wikimedians would be welcome to come by and spend time with us.
Warmly, SJ

I hack on mediawiki for WMF. Mark Holmquist, another WMF hacker, is going to be visiting Boston roughly Aug. 16 - Aug 21. There are other WMF folk scattered around here, along with lots of volunteers. Is anyone up for a meetup/hackday? Mark and I would like to play with hooking up Mozilla's Tow Truck (https://towtruck.mozillalabs.com/) in order to allow real-time collaboration in a wiki context. (Editing? TeaHouse? Talk pages? something like that.) Maybe other people have their own hacking projects where it would be useful to be nearby and pick our brains? --scott
