I'm already downtown on weekdays, and so this could very well work for me. Location will most likely be the most important factor for me, depending on how soon I can get out of my Dupont Circle office and get to wherever.
Would this "discussion" type meetup be held in a meeting-type facility, e.g. a room at GW or something, or something more like a coffee shop?

There is lots going on in the DC area for Wikimedia and enough things to discuss that I think we should do more regular meetups. I propose we try doing monthly meetups, and rotate between weeknights (w/ talks, discussions) and weekends (at a restaurant, socializing only).

Weeknights tend to be bad for us students.
Luke,
I would be disappointed if you can't be there. :( If consensus is that weeknights are bad for most people, then I say we scrap it.
Though, I think it's worth a try once and see how it goes. I have a hunch that rotating between weekends and weeknights will allow us to reach more people. (e.g. folks that won't come on a weekend).
Would it help to make the time earlier in the evening? say starting at 6 or 6:30pm? or is that still a problem?

The particular date you've picked, the 17th, is bad for me because of schedule conflicts. In general, being retired, weeknights would be OK for me, but you just picked a terrible date. --
