Wikipedia:Meetup/India/Marathon1

The first Indian WikiMarathon is scheduled to be held on November 14. Read the announcement [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2010-October/001098.html here]. Essentially, a WikiMarathon is an event where editors get together and edit articles or perform other tasks on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects simultaneously. It provides an opportunity for real-time and location brainstorming and collaboration.
