You can always turn your statement on its head -- linking to a really
nice wiki page might be *exactly* the message we want to send. It is,
after all, a conference about wiki based sites and about the power of
wikis as a content creation medium :)

I understand that, however, my main concern is utmost professionalism in
presentation to people we have to convince to help us. To me, linking to a
wiki doesn't exactly have that quality, not 100%. And there's only so much
you can say before they want to see something, and I'm afraid a wiki page
does not have the best statement that it can.

I think it is better to open the Wikimania 2008 website after the host city
get chosen.
Meta is a place to coordinate biddings, but Wikimania website is for the
official use of the event.
Since there will be only one city get chosen as the host, I am afraid that
other bidders' proposals on the same website would confuse people.

We were discussing in our IRC meeting a more professional and easier to
navigate
place to present our bid to prospective press and sponsors. Can the
Wikimania 2008 website on Wikimedia be opened for all of us to present our
big aims there instead of having to direct people to different pages on
Meta, which they may not be 100% aware of navigating?
