How will we quantify the efforts on the same day
without a theme ? Blind editing
on anything can be "done on any day".
The participants can all sign up on a project page. We then can use Mediawiki's
show contributions and show the aggreagate to see the net effect.
We may need to do a creative visualisation of the contribs somehow.

"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."

How will we quantify the efforts on the same day without a theme ? Blind editing
on anything can be "done on any day". If we can stick to a theme ( any) , we can
see the results by the end of the day.
Commenwealth was just a suggestion of theme and can be replaced by any other.
Let people interested in creating new articles , create them on various language
wikis. The articles may not neccassarily be full done, stubs are more than
enough to start.
Let people interested, help in categorization related to those articles.
Let people interested in transaltion, help that way.
Let those interested in photographs, go hunt images on flickr with proper
licenses, for those articles.
etc etc..
Just my thoughts, that's all ... If most people feel this is too restrictive,
then we can have free editing too :)
"Shut up and Edit" was indeed inspired by "shut up and hack". :)
I didnt know that many people didnt like that phrase then.
In that case, let it be better called as Wiki Marathon / WikiParty.

They can even
do simple tasks like fixing typos.
Let us a get a Meta page created and post banners in all Indic Wikis.
