Dear Shyamal, Awesome! Congrats to the organizers for creating a useful coordination page!
I have signed up for the online edit-a-thon and I am looking forward to create a few articles during the next few days. I will also be around to help with categorization of the results. I can also volunteer to bring them to Wikidata. -Netha On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 12:23 PM, Shyamal L. <lshya...@gmail.com> wrote: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Ada_Lovelace_Edit-a-thon_2014 > > The central coordination page is now up.
