I seriously think we should start thinking about organizing some road trips and get-togethers. This could be done informally or formally.
We could do a few of these -- one on the east coast, one on the west coast, and one in a central location in Europe. Or they could be smaller, regional things with only a few people.
There will be at least three[1] Esperanto Wikipedians at the 'Esperanto che Interreto'[2] conference in Boston this coming April. If any east-coaster English Wikipedians are interested, we can probably have a joint Wikipedia event and cultural exchange. ;)
Meanwhile, Wikipedia Day 2003 is less than a month away (and Magnus Manske Day not long after!) -- a west coast get-together for the occasion might be entertaining.
