I don't think that Wikimedia New England is at a stage right now, either financially or organizationally, where having an equipment pool makes a tremendous amount of sense, but if there ever was an argument for having one I think it was made over the past few days by Albin Olsson (user:Abbedabb at commons)[1], who covered this year's Eurovision contest using a Nikon D600 from the equipment pool of Wikimedia Sverige, producing just over 500 photographs and film clips from the event.[2]
Just something to keep in mind for the future, since it would be awesome to have this kind of thing for events that take place in Boston/New England.
