let's edit about plants!

Hi all,

Like many attendees I expect, I am looking forward to visiting Kirstenbosch
Botanical Garden and other gardens in Cape Town! Laura (cc'd) and I were
wondering if there would be interest in an informal edit-a-thon about South
African plants during the conference? We could take pictures, add sources,
improve Wikidata items, etc etc.

If there is interest, I can make a page and we can try to figure out a good
time. Perhaps as a thematic meetup, during the pre-conference, or just
afterwards as a field trip?

cheers,
Phoebe
