Hi Sarah and others;
Just letting you all know that we had a proper live edit marathon in
Bangalore, India in November 2010.

We've been discussing it on meta, where I'd prefer to maintain the
conversation, but, I should have stated:

"The first edit-a-thon or event that involved people in a room together
editing Wikipedia in some type of "organized" fashion"

Sarah,

Do you mean the first Wikimedia editathon, or the first editathon period?

Editathons predate Wikipedia by years, and are about as old as the wiki
itself. The old school name for them is "barn raisings".

[Wikimedia-l] When was the first edit-a-thon(s)?

[Sarah Stierch]

Hi everyone,

I've asked a question on the new Program Evaluation & Design portal about
when people think the first edit-a-thons took place. (Or the very first, if
we know!)

It would be great to have your input on meta:

Thank you and please spread the word!

Sarah
