NaNoWriMo , For those that don't know, is National Novel Writing month. Where in month of November people try to write 50,000 words (the equivalent of a 175 page novel). It has a page to keep track, and weekly 'pep talk' emails.
The Pathfinder Wiki is a wiki on the world of Golarion, written like an in-world encyclopedia (so no crunch, all fluff) Which is currently working on getting pages written for every single noun in the campaign setting.
As my NaNoWriMo writing, I am going to keep a copy of my new articles and sections from the wiki in a separate file after finishing them on the wiki, and submit them for my Nano word count. I challenge everyone to join my quest and sign up. Lets get 50,000 words a piece into the wiki in November! The past 2 years I have tried to write a novel, and didn't have the time, now that I have time already invested into the wiki, I hope to actually get 50,000 words written out. Let's see if anyone can get to 50,000 words before me in Nov.
Even if you don't know how to do the wiki-links, we have a good community over there that can help you. Feel free to browse the Tutorial and the Help help section. Before November first to get a feel for wiki editing. Even if you put just the plain text in the pages, someone else can come behind you and clean up links (but please put reference book and page numbers to make it easier for these people to clean articles up)
Who will race with me?
I'll wait for Innanowrimo

Then it's not named correctly anymore. :P

And I see the guy who translated it into German took the motto to heart ;-). What I mean is that it doesn't seem such a good translation (I'm talking about the text in the About page).
I'll have to consider doing this.

I feel that I read something last year that the translations were rushed when it became apparent that there were a number of people outside the U.S. that were participating one year... so they most likely just haven't gone back to fix it
Regardless of the national/international scope of the wordcount tracking system, any month can be WikiMonth in any country!
