Re: [Wikimediauk-l] London Loves Wikipedia & the Cultural Olympiad 2008-2012

Between now and the Summer of 2012 London is supposedly hosting the cultural 
Olympiad. But one might suspect that the Olympics committee is neglecting that 
and concentrating on the sporting side of the Olympics.

However it would tick a few boxes if this could be presented as a mass 
volunteer cultural event, part of the cultural Olympics with a permanent 
digital legacy.
