What time period is this event expected to occur over?  Just looking through the public exhibition space takes a full day.  Add access to the Ultimo storage areas and post-event editing and we can't hope to cover more than a small part of the museum in one day.  Is this an all-day event or part of a day or what?
Are ph<sup>m</sup> supplying a photographer to take publicity photos for themselves or to take photos requested by us for Wikipedia?  In the latter case, we won't need a photographer but will need access to the photos.
A list of specific artifacts that they would like articles on would be useful.  (Note that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerhouse_Museum#Key_attractions the key attractions] paragraph doesn't actually include any links to ph<sup>m</sup> artifacts and there doesn't seem to be any list of articles on ph<sup>m</sup> artifacts in wikipedia).
As for the editing, it's not really practical for more than one person to edit a single article at once.  This implies that cleanup/expansion of existing articles
would comes down to one person typing, possibly with additional people suggesting text.  Obviously, new articles can be written in parallel (as long as there's some co-ordination to ensure that no more than one person is independently writing each page).
If someone has 3G and a laptop, we could edit as we go (making notes as we go sounds a good idea in any case).

What time period is this event expected to occur over? Just looking through the public exhibition space takes a full day. Add access to the Ultimo storage areas and post-event editing and we can't hope to cover more than a small part of the museum in one day. Is this an all-day event or part of a day or what?

Are phm supplying a photographer to take publicity photos for themselves or to take photos requested by us for Wikipedia? In the latter case, we won't need a photographer but will need access to the photos.

A list of specific artifacts that they would like articles on would be useful. (Note that the key attractions paragraph doesn't actually include any links to phm artifacts and there doesn't seem to be any list of articles on phm artifacts in wikipedia).

As for the editing, it's not really practical for more than one person to edit a single article at once. This implies that cleanup/expansion of existing articles would comes down to one person typing, possibly with additional people suggesting text. Obviously, new articles can be written in parallel (as long as there's some co-ordination to ensure that no more than one person is independently writing each page).

If someone has 3G and a laptop, we could edit as we go (making notes as we go sounds a good idea in any case).
