Hi Andrew,

A good start is to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon

Once you've read that I'm happy to Skype sometime and talk you through the process.

Hi all

Andrew (cc’d) from the Australian chapter is looking for some advice on editathons, identifying/engaging partner organisations, getting participants, practical things, etc. with some potential ideas around library work and/or some themed events with a view to develop activities in Australia.

I know loads of people on this list have expertise in the area, if anyone had specific advice (or/and places to look for it) I’m sure it’d be appreciated!

Best

Simon
