I've updated the Wikipedia Takes Boston page to
reflect the City Hall
starting location. Can someone update the
page for the
event? Is there anyplace else the event has been advertised that needs
to be updated?

Rain is forecast to subside between 12:00PM and 1

according to Tim's link. Given that, I agree with Tim and SJ's
suggestion that we not postpone Wikipedia Takes Boston, and do the
event on Sunday as scheduled.
It would probably be best to meet at 12:00 PM somewhere that has
cover from rain. (Rain could still be tapering off then.) IIRC,
Boston City Hall has a large overhang along its perimeter, which also
has ample space for 10-15 people to congregate. And it's immediately
nearby a T station. I suggest we meet outside Boston City Hall.
I'll be updating the page at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Boston by noon
tomorrow with the new starting location. Please send along other
suggestions for that, or any other general thoughts on the event.
Thanks,
Eric

Let's pick a place to meet Sunday and if it is raining we can
organize
an all-online upload and curation party of existing work...

As of now, forecasts for Sunday are for heavy
rain in the
morning, but
clearing up by afternoon, which sounds promising
for this event:

I don't know about everyone else, but my schedule is just not
flexible
enough to turn on a dime. I can't be
available on April 23 and
I have
already blocked out April 17 for this, so I will
probably just
be out
there this Sunday to shoot. If any of y'all
wish to join me, I
will be
glad for it. :-)
