I just ran across a new-ish (Feb 17) resource for people interested in running editathons for scientists, developed by the Simons Foundation. You can read the blog post[1] and download the guide in PDF form[2].

The guide provides a well-organized and comprehensive set of practical tips for organizing, publicizing, and running editathons and is tuned to the needs and interests of science SMEs.

Forwarding because I know there are many folks on this list who are involved in this sort of work and/or could be.

Cheers, Jonathan
