The M3P Foundation held its first edit-a-thon on Saturday 14 September 2013 at the National Archives of Malta in Rabat.
The event started at 1:30pm and ended at 6:00pm with refreshments.
Attendees to editathons are always asked to bring their own laptop with them to participate fully. Free wifi available at the venue.
What is an editathon?
The word "editathon" or "edit-a-thon" is a portmanteau of the words "edit" and "marathon".
