Hi Tom, Daniel, all, There are already plans afoot here. :-) On the day before the conference, Martin Poulter's organising a Wikipedia Workshop for the Institute of Physics (which has obvious overlaps in terms of audience with this conference): http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Physics_Workshop and during the conference itself, Henry Scowcroft of Cancer Research UK is organising a session on "How are wikis being used to carry out and communicate science?" which I'm involved in - suggestions of people/groups to involve in that session would be most welcome. There's also a couple of other related elements in the works.
I'm mostly viewing this as an outreach activity, encouraging people to join in editing, rather than something that's community-focused (which editathons tend to be). Thanks, Mike P.S. this follows on from WMUK's involvement in Science Online London 2009, where I gave a panel presentation on Wikipedia.
