I'll get in the #sipx IRC channel on freenode.net around 3AM EDT and
kick off the event with details.  Don't worry if you miss it, I'll
help people get started no matter when they join.
  NOTE:  3AM EDT is GMT +4  or 7 AM GMT

Things you can do to prepare:

1.) If you plan on making a fairly significant contribution to the
effort (+10 pages or so), You may want to setup a webdav client.
Webdav let's you edit files as if they were local files.  I've done
this and it's made the world of difference for editing a lot of pages
quickly.  I'm not sure how confluence will handle multiple people all
using webdav, so we'll have to see how this goes.

To setup webdav, for linux users, i installed davfs2 package and ran

  cd ~/
  mkdir wiki
  sudo mount -t davfs -o rw,uid=dhubler
http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/plugins/servlet/confluence/default/ wiki/

you will get prompted for sipfoundry wiki user name and password.  For
more information, see

  
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+WebDAV+client+for+Confluence

The file system is very slow, and may seem intolerable, but as long as
it beats editing in web browser, it's a win in my book.

BE CAREFUL, you can make massive inadvertent changes this way

2.) Review the wiki markup:

NOTE: Mike Picher and I had a discussion and feel the rich text editor
is too buggy to recommend we use to any great length.  It generates
html that is so messy that the rich text editor component eventually
cannot edit the text anymore, and then you have to go and edit by
hand.  At that point, the page is a real mess and requires major
cleanup.  I haven't disabled the rich text editor yet, but we might.
I did set the default editor to be wiki markup

3.) Make sure you have wiki edit rights

4.) Signup. If you haven't put your name on the list, please do

 http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/WikiWelcome/Wiki+Cleanup+Day+-+Nov+5th

One, this gives you due credit and two this shows just how many people
are participating in the crowd sourcing effort and so we can continue
to do things like this.
