According to the localWiki Guide, an edit party is simple: "get some people together to work on the wiki together." An edit party is also useful for recruiting/introducing new people to wiki concepts and procedures and to meet other editors in person.
The November 24, 2012 Learn & Launch probably qualifies as the first ToledoWiki Edit Party. See the history of these meetings.
