What about a page/namespace on meta.wikimedia.org? Wouldn't that make more sense?

I also feel ten.wikipedia.org has been an excellent global

coordination resource for this year's events, and as that is archived,

we should think about the domains or subdomains to be used for

Wikipedia Day activities in future years.

Thanks,

Echo the sentiments of doing widespread events on the Anniversary day every

year. We at Bangalore did one last

year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/WPDay2010

It brings everyone together and reminds the public of the vaue wikipedia and

wikimedia are creating in very day lives.

I do think there is an opportunity to do a standard event kit - standard

banners, publicity material, possibly an exhibition kit that could be used

globally. Organizations like Rotary and PMI do this very well to reach out

to the public.

A big thanks to Steven and Barry for all the support.

Arun

That was the original idea behind Wikipedia Day, as far as I know!  I

see no reason why we wouldn't revisit the event annually on this day.

In addition to having a "big day" once a year, I generally love the

idea of having more "event kits" for different kinds of purposes that

we can ship throughout the year (together with continually improving

best practices, repositories of visualizations and outreach materials,

etc.). We'll need to do some internal post-morteming on this

experience to see if this is a habit we can get into more regularly.

But I for one certainly see ten.wikipedia.org as a great pilot for

supporting distributed events around the world.

Throwing in some general comments: Thanks to Steven and all who helped

with it, and all who organized, attended or supported celebrations.

The event in SF was awesome, and the photos from the world-wide events

show the incredible energy and strength of Wikimedia in the year 2011.

Please, folks, upload more images to Commons :-)

Cheers,

Erik
