- Nemo - cool!
- Marie - that is fantastic, best of luck. I am sad to learn about the
Canadian copyright issues. But I am very glad to learn about any
initiatives involving Wikipedia editing and library & information science
schools - we need much more of this!
- Kerry - thanks for all the good advice, good for any event. I have run
many editathons, but usually I pick a somewhat looser topic that is easier
to find a variety of articles to work with. Side note: I would like to
challenge our community to host more editing events that *don't* involve
writing biographies - though they are easy to start with, there is so much
more to do! All of your advice about Wikiprojects is good for this.
- Bob - it sounds like we need a jazz project! I was thinking of at the
very least playing 1923 jazz during the event :)
Any other public domain related events or ideas? PS: here are the books we
digitized in honor of the day:
