Something confirmed about the candidates to host Wikimania 2013?
I've heard rumors about Kenya, U.K. and Portugal...

Hello all,
I'm probably not the only one starting to think ahead to Wikimania 2013. So today, I
did a rather massive overhaul of the Wikimania pages on Meta -- trying to both wrap my
head around the event's history, the process of venue selection, and existing
documentation -- and also trying to organize it in a way that will make it more accessible
as other try to educate themselves.
I sort of wish I'd taken a screenshot or two of the Category structure before I
started, because to be blunt, it was *awful*! I hope what I've left behind is an
improvement. If you want to take a look at the havoc I've wreaked, you should probably
look at:

Or just pore over my (metaphorically) OCD-fueled recent contribs:

I hope this is viewed as a net positive. In hindsight, as I was getting deeper into this,
I started to realize that I maybe should have stopped to seek consensus before making such
extensive changes. But I am pretty confident you'll like what you see -- if not,
please let me know, and I'll do my best to undo any damage :)
-Pete
