of the "seminar" structure.
I agree that Sunday was unproductive (although I got a lot out of the
session I led, in which I invited others to suggest solutions to
issues I'd been experiencing). But I'm sure that was a result of the
unconference being tagged on "after" Wikimania, rather than being a
part of it, and being ill-explained and under-promoted before the day
(conversely, the facilitation on the day was good).
Indeed, every other unconference I've ever been to has been /highly/
productive, and I'd be in favour of replacing the formal sessions with
/just/ an unconference.
