What if we picked individual active editors from major metropolitan
areas, asked them to pick a date when they were free for a local
meeting, and posted a geonotice for them... then provided a simple
wikiform that they could use [and had a reminderscript leave them
talkpage messages three weeks after the last meeting to see if they
were interested in another one]?
That seems scalable and a nice way to bring together people
proportional to their reading frequency (at least if we can get
geonotices that work with the sitenoitice, not with watchlist
notices).

What you're getting there is the Sprint Mobile/Broadband center in Topeka.

Well, it *would* be awesome if we had a secret wiki-hive in Topeka,
anyway.
Who else is trying to build (g)local wiki communities in the US? I
think some of these may already be quietly growing beyond the horizon
of our attention...
Thanks,
