The 1lib1ref in its basic form also do not seem to be ideal to catch the attention of librarians over here, but alternative ways of organizing it seem to result. Edithatons in general have shown to be a bad option for reaching to new editors, except in the cases where we have some motivated work force already available (feminist activists, students being evaluated, etc.). My personal experience is that participating in edithatons "just because" is simply not fun nor attractive, there must be something to gain from it (promoting a specific cause, getting good grades, etc). We should indeed get innovative here, and above all, share our experiences, so that we can build something on this together.
