Say now, what? :) Seems to me we had *two* great events last week, Oakland Wiki just
announced weekly edit-a-thons at the library, various other things in the works. Portland
had a real successful Wiki Loves Libraries event a month or two back, we've had
various fun wiknics, Wiki Loves Monuments…maybe it's the lack of the sense of a
cohesive "group" you're noting? Could be, but I'm not sure that's a
necessary ingredient to moving things forward. Actually, I think a world in which lots of
people and groups are supporting Wikipedia in small/quasi-connected ways is pretty
exciting! Not better or worse than a more structured approach, but pretty enjoyable and
productive.
