I often find that people who've never edited and are most likely to enjoy a face-to-face tutorial are also unlikely to signup via a wiki page. :)
Thus, I've also made a public Facebook event ( https://www.facebook.com/events/218304808327707/) and linked it from the Wikipedia page.
Thanks for starting this up Karen!

We have a time set for an edit-a-thon in Berkeley from 12:30 - 5:00 at the Berkeley Public Library. I will try to do additional publicity, but there is a web page:

(Thanks for Shreyas Patankar!)
I'm not a master editor, so I'd like to know if we have someone who would be comfortable providing an intro to WP editing at the 12:30 time slot. I'm also looking around for handouts, cheat sheets, etc. on editing that we could have available. (I'm happy to do the copying for those.)
Before the day I'd like to identify a few topics or pages that we can suggest for attendees who don't come with their own agenda.
