Well, maybe I skimmed over this whole proposal and its thread too much, but I thought in this thread we're talking about Wikipedians visiting a library to collect information to beef up some articles. As far as I can see, they can do this without an approval process. The articles beefed up this way can still be approved a year later, if the process is in place by then. It is also still possible to organise another WikiJamSession a year later.
I agree a WikiJamSession a year earlier just to work on articles rather than to approve them would be a good idea. It would help with the planning for the session the following year, and make sure that for the final print drive, we know what we're doing as we'd have found out a year earlier how the event went and how it could be improved, making the final drive to print go more smoothly. A WikiJamSession this summer might also be a good place to start advertising the drive to 1.0, which will happening over the course of the next year, and get people motivated to work on it.
