Are you going to edit the English Wikipedia? Swahili Wikipedia? Both?
In my experience, attacking a chunk of the backlog and seeing how much progress was made by group effort is very satisfying. Pick a backlog -- articles awaiting rewriting, articles needing pictures [particularly fun -- looking through Commons for suitable images!], articles needing Interwiki links, uncategorized articles (know HotCat[1]?) etc., -- and set yourselves a realistic numeric goal.
Just a thought.

Yes we shall be editing both the English and Swahili wikipedia.
I think We should also borrow from Bartov's experience and probably to add on, we can subdivide into smaller groups where each shall be dealing with different articles and thus the competition among us to see which group did 'more' !
You can register for the event at http://wikisaturdayke.eventbrite.com/?ref=esfb
Ps-Oscar Is that under fun and games? Just my thought.
