I was over the moon to see the announcements this morning and really proud of the Norwegian Wikipedia community for updating the pages today! I for one would love to hear about everyone's experience being there. (I'd also love to hear anyone's experiences about edit conflicts while updating the pages). I'm not sure when you were notified of the invitation, but do know that the Foundation wants to find ways of supporting community activities like this, so if there are any ideas on how to do that please say so.
