This collaboration was the brainchild of Catherine Lenoble ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cathsign User:Cathsign]), a French writer whose first edit was a year ago at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Ada_Lovelace_Edit-a-thon_2013_-_Brussels Ada Lovelace Day event in Brussels].

Wikimedia UK has that precious resource, meeting space in central London. Our office is near Silicon Roundabout, aka Old Street, on numerous bus routes, and at the junction of two cycle paths. We have coffee and wifi, and laptops to loan and expertise on tap. We extend an invitation to other experts coming to London (and we can even travel to you): give us notice, and let’s see if we can help you improve your subject area on Wikipedia.<span class="plainlinks">[https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2014/09/scholarly-collaboration-with-coffee/<nowiki>[</nowiki>...<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</span> | |||
