Sue, great. Do you have a sense of what your sources will be? I'm
thinking that we could have some "reference materials" in the room on
our topics. In addition, BPL has some journal subscriptions that might
be useful. (SFPL has more, if you have a library card with them.)
I know what you mean about "actually editing." Sometimes you don't get
much done, but I find I do get a lot of stimulation for later edits.

I'm planning to come, and I'm going to try to edit on some trans topics
("gender identity disorder" and stuff like that), since they are
presumably getting a lot of traffic these days, and the articles aren't
very good.
(That said, my track record of actually editing at an editathon is
pretty poor: I mostly end up talking or hanging out, not editing. But I
am going to try.)
Thanks,
Sue

I would be more than happy to provide an intro in that slot - I've
done a lot of similar presentations for education program events and
for editathons. I usually use
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET as my basic
handout type thing; it can be printed out, but we can also just give
people the link (since presumably everyone will have a laptop with
them.) There are a few others floating around, but I think
WP:CHEATSHEET is the easiest/most compact to use.
I'll also try to come up with some possible topics and add them to
the editathon page within the next few days.
Thanks,
Kevin Gorman
