106 FAs - that must be close to a record for any one place outside of Chicago. Perhaps the next project should be somewhere where we don't yet have so much featured content, but an easier town to get to than Monmouth?
Better yet, the UK chapter could invite bids from Wikimedians who want the Monmouthpedia experience in their abode, and councils who'd like to pitch for the title. Wikipedia town of the year is the sort of accolade that some councils would really like to get, and if the Council is behind it then every museum they grant fund should be reasonably cooperative.
If Monmouthpedia were morphed in a Wikipedia town of the year award then I believe we'd have something that could run indefinitely

It seems the biggest challenge for editing workshops is finding
suitable topics for people to create articles about (I think a lot of
people just edit existing articles, which is much easier). It's
particularly difficult for Monmonth since pretty much everything
notable in the town already has an article!
My experience is that "how do I create an article" comes very high
on the list of FAQs in workshops. Hence, I have suggested divorcing
MediaWiki skills from Wikipedia skills (as dictated by the
experience levels of participants).
So, Monmouth is done and dusted?
Time to return another "town"..... how about this quaint little
hamlet (started as WikiProject in 2002)?
