Some people like to sit in cafes while they work "alone", others prefer 
to be alone at home. Same with editing. Some people like to do it in 
company, others not.

Speaking of editing in company, I would love to find an informal but 
pleasing venue where people can stop in, have a beer, and join others 
who are editing, without having to organize something more formal. 
Although I find value in holding editing sessions in the local 
libraries, it can be hard to book the rooms, and once there the 
environment is a bit sterile. I'm in Berkeley and there are some cafes 
that have wifi, coffee, beer, and food. Is anyone else interested in a 
kind of "Wednesday nights at xx" or something like that?
