Dear Shyamal,
Awesome! Congrats to the organizers for creating a useful coordination
page!
I have signed up for the online edit-a-thon and I am looking forward to
create a few articles during the next few days. I will also be around to
help with categorization of the results. I can also volunteer to bring them
to Wikidata.

The central coordination page is now up. The contact person is Dr Harini
Barath - harini(a)indiabioscience.org.
The in-person meetups are on the 11th at the Centre for Ecological
Sciences (Biological Sciences building), Indian Institute of Science; 13th
at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, GKVK campus; 14th at the
Urban Solace (restaurant) at Ulsoor.
I am providing some editing support on the 11th and hopefully some of you
can be there on the other two days, if not do pitch in remotely and help
the editors or improving the target articles (hopefully without causing
edit conflicts and grief to many potentially long-term editors).
best wishes
Shyamal

Dear Shyamal,
Great initiative! The category [1] for Indian women scientists was
created two
years back, during the Ada Lovelace Day edit-a-thon in October
2012. We have more than 40 Indian women scientists included in this
category now, thanks to the many women-centered edit-a-thons that attract
editors' attention to this topic. I hope to see more articles added to this
category after the edit-a-thon this year!
I was also wondering if there was a
project/event page on Wikipedia
for this edit-a-thon. I find it slightly
off-putting to have to fill up a
private google form [2] to be able to participate in a public edit-a-thon.
It is also not clear to me if the event is invite-only. I am holding back
from joining the event until the event allows me to participate by signing
up on a Wikimedia page.
User: Fluentflux happens to be a new user who joined Wikipedia today. I
guess they
would need some on-wiki help in organizing the event, in which
case I am happy to pitch in after October 9.
