Concept
People to come to work together on their current HTML/CSS/JS problems. It's a coding/fixing session, where everybody learns something from everybody. The spirits is Web standards, collaboration, and microformats.
Format
I haven't a clue about the format or style of this, but maybe something like this:
- everybody brings their problem
- everybody brings a laptop (connectivity provided)
- first 2 hours -- prioritize problems, most interesting (for everyone) starting first
- solve the problems by working in groups
- present solutions to however many problems solved at the end of the day
Examples of problems
- Clean up old-style markup
- Solve a specific CSS problem (can't make the darn spacing work in IE!)
- Add hCard to existing markup
- Rewrite JS menus to be more accessible and unobtrusive
