What's new with WikiProject Trains?

At the National Model Railroad Association's 2008 national convention in Anaheim, California, I will present a clinic titled "What's new with WikiProject Trains?" Since this clinic is about a WikiProject, it only seems fair and proper that I should seek input and collaboration from other Wikipedians on the clinic's content. So, please edit this page with topics that should be presented in this clinic. The convention will be held the week of July 13 through July 19 2008.

I will present this clinic twice during the convention: Monday at 4:00pm and again Tuesday at 1:00pm
