Sue, sorry we won't see you, but another time, for sure.
This connects up to Asaf's desire to work on bibliographies, I think. I, too, am very interested in that. My goal would be to have a set of good readings on as many of the topics in Wikipedia that we can cover. Not a giant-o complete list of everything written, but perhaps a "start here, continue on to..." There's no use giving folks a list of 3000 books and articles on a topic if you don't give them a starting point. So I've been reading up on principles of bibliography, classification, etc., and I think this is something that we can do that is totally useful.
If I get a chance I'll make a short bibliography of these on Zotero or something, so that they don't get lost.

Gah. I just realized I'm out of town that weekend so I won't be at the editathon. That's a shame --- I'd been looking forward to it.
FWIW though, in case anybody wants to edit on transgender issues, here are the books I've been working from. I'm not saying they're the best, but they seem fine :-)
Thanks, Sue

Do you have a sense of what your sources will be? I'm thinking that we could have some "reference materials" in the room on our topics. In addition, BPL has some journal subscriptions that might be useful. (SFPL has more, if you have a library card with them.) I know what you mean about "actually editing." Sometimes you don't get much done, but I find I do get a lot of stimulation for later edits. kc On 8/26/13 11:44 AM, Sue Gardner wrote: I'm planning to come, and I'm going to try to edit on some trans topics ("gender identity disorder" and stuff like that), since they are presumably getting a lot of traffic these days, and the articles aren't very good.
