I heart this idea.
Srsly.
Can you imagine, finding places that have WP articles and projecting
the logo globe on them?
That would be an amazing public visibility thing. In SF alone, for
instance, Grace Cathedral, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid....

Yeah!
There's so much we could be doing (both on-wiki and in meatspace)
for the
"10th anniversary" next January. I would suggest that not only
should we be
investigating activities such as that you describe to improve the
content,
but also that we undertake fundraising and general outreach activities
across the world around. For example, the "spread
Firefox<http://www.spreadfirefox.com/>"
project has been a success and I'd love to see this kind of thing for
Wikipedia projected on monuments around the world on the 10th
anniversary
day:

And yes, as you say, it is also a very good opportunity to really
utilise
the value of the geo-targeted notices if all the chapters and
geographically
defined wikiprojects coordinate undertake activities simultaneously.

At a meetup in San Francisco today I was thinking
about next
January's 10th
Birthday for Wikipedia and recent strategic planning discussions
around
participation. What about celebrating Wikipedia Day with an edit
drive?
We
could aim for some stretch target (e.g. 1 million edits across all
projects
over 24 hours on 15 Jan 2011, or 25 million edits during the month of
January) and use the project and geo-targeted sitenotice technology
from
the
fundraisers.
Seems like it could be a great way to celebrate and also get the
word out
about the "anyone can edit" spirit of our projects.
