Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out where the best place to do the online organisation of
wikimeets is. I can think of four different places, each with pros and cons,
which I'd appreciate others' views on.

3) Wikimedia UK

I think meta is a good place (but then, I did move the London ones
there after a complaint from a non-enwiki-er, so I'm biased ;-)). I
also think the real value now we have SUL is not in the home but in
the advertising

For instance 'girl geek dinners' is a nationally franchised group with meet ups
in most cities.
It ought to be easy to include them.
Most cities have 5 or 6 recognisable 'tech groups'. My own has brrissm social
media. Bristol wireless, bristol cooperative,

We should be getting more non-Wikipedia people involved and attending
events: because in-breeding isn't healthy.
And more non-techies, for the same reason.

Experience from being involved with London Wiki Wednesday and other
meetups is the consistency of information (date, time, place) at
different places, and where to sign up (if at all). London Wiki
Wednesday was harmed (in part) by the use SocialText and now seems
moribund.
