Take a look at this, by the way - bit.ly/GE2017TechInitiatives - I am sure wikipedians can improve this resource, or use it to improve wikipedia etc. I won't be doing anything pro-active on the edit-a-thon front but I will offer the space and support anyone organising - If anyone decides they want to lead on this, please keep me updated.
