Suggest the first session might fulfil three needs
1. Get some people trained (ie see above) as a trial to see what skills
they need.
2. Get these people started and get them some buddies. The U.S. Campus
ambassadors have a virtual help room where people can ask for help
3. Work out how this expands ... because it is going to and we will quickly
run out of helpers and organisers if we don't make it scale (I can hear a
voice saying "train the trainers")
4. OK lets not foget 1.

I was talking to Gordon Joly and Philafrenzy about
this at the Wikimeet
and I think the collective feeling was that contact before and after an
editing session is important as well as the event itself.
I can certainly think of events where lots of people have turned up, but
none of the new wannabe Wikipedians has gone on to contribute after the
event - perhaps this could be improved by some friendly emails afterwards
offering to continue the help offered on the day.
I think we're definitely learning more about how we do these things, and
hopefully these events - whatever form they end up taking - will continue
that.
