We've done a lot of good work already, and it doesn't take a lot of people or time to get good content. This time, I'd like to see if we can do more with the content we produce, so The_ed17 is organizing a little taskforce on-wiki for the editors who can't make it to help with adding images to articles, categorizing, and so on: < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_ed17/NARA%3E.
It'll be a few days before we really get a lot of images uploaded, though, especially since we are dealing with large files.

I expect battleships on Saturday to be super cool!
Cheers, Katie
PS - if anyone needs a ride from Montgomery County or from the metro (PG Plaza), please let me know.
I'm extremely bummed I had to miss the women's theme day :(
Thanks Dominic for putting so much effort into this, your work throughout the past months as resident have been wonderful.

If you can't make January 7, we will also be at NARA 2 tomorrow evening, and hope to do more scanathons in the next months at NARA & elsewhere.
Items scanned can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, for use in Wikipedia and elsewhere.
Hope to see you there!
Cheers, Katie
