Jason, I do think this Anonymous phenomenon is quite interesting, and given Wikinewsies acumen with net culture and its own CoS issues in Wikipedia, it could be a good area to cover.
But perhaps a bit of clarification -- are you interested in Wikinewsies to *cover* such protest events, or to participate in them (as per the subject). The reason for asking, is the latter is generally frowned upon as a practice by journalists, as newsgatherers should be doing that -- gathering, and not being the news. But I do look forward to some discussion about the "anon" matter.

I am DragonFire1024 on the English Wikinews. I am wondering if there are any Wikinewsies in: New York, Montreal, Houston TX, London, Melbourne Australia, and Los Angeles California.
If so, please contact me. The group known as "Anonymous"is planning "unspecified" action against the CoS on February 10, 2008. They mention the above cities specifically.
So anyone on the list in or near those areas please contact me ASAP.
P.S. we already have 2 people going to London, but more is encouraged.
