I have contacts at the German Historical Institute who are tentatively interested in hosting an edit-a-thon. (Jan 31 2004)
We could team up also with the Goethe Institute which is a center for German language and culture. It's in a big supremely convenient building near the Gallery Place stop. They hold classes on the German language and many interesting and fun events -- films, games nights, lectures. I took language classes there years ago.
We could hold an edit-a-thon there, with the interesting aspect that it was multi-lingual, and we could talk about how the German Wikipedia works to the extent this is different from the English one.
Kristin has talked to the chief of the Goethe Institute -- (Wilfrid Eckstein) and he was interested.
They have a library of materials there also.
Their audience is completely different from ours and highly literate and will have new interesting perspectives. We would need to offer new-user training.
