Hi Pine, There are some good notes in the page at http://cascadia.wiki/Workroom/Editathon_planning_checklist I'm wondering what factors you consider when creating a page at cascadia.wiki vs editing an existing page on the wikimedia wikis?
I'm a moderate mergist at heart, especially regarding backstage/help pages, because I believe that can solve the issues with * information-fragmentation (with some or all pages getting out of date), * user-search (a centralized hub will contain more keywords, and be more widely linked-to), * and watchlisting (more eyeballs means more chances of one person's update inspiring someone else to add or tweak some details) ** More watchlisting also means more people to potentially join discussions or ask/answer questions on the talkpage. I see these as potential locations for merging your notes to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon and possibly some new learning patterns for https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup#How_to_manage_a_Wikimedia_meetup I'd be interested in your perspective on all this.
