Two things: VE has gotten really easy to install, as long as you don't
need the full restbase server (not going into that, not going into that,
not going into that). Which is really cool for third-party projects and
such.
Also a pair of ladies with no prior experience or affiliation with
Wikimedia, Kassondra Cloos of SNEWS and Abigail Wise of Adventure
Projects, decided to host an editathon in Boulder, and the other day met
with a few local more experienced Wikimedians (myself included, along
with two others who actually know about Wikipedia, Todd Allen and Neal
McBurnett) for planning and to sort out some details of how it's
actually going to happen, and it looks like it's apt to be a very
productive event. The thing's going to be on Sunday. Exciting stuff.

Borrowing an idea from Wikipedia Weekly, I think it
would be nice to have a
thread about the good things that are happening around the Wikimedia

weekly basis.
My comment for this week: I enjoyed reading a post from the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/03/21/why-i-elements/: "Why I periodically
write about the elements on Wikipedia", by Mikhail Boldyrev.
