Hi Sebastian, Cool! My French is pretty poor but that looks similar and useful. We need "how to Wikimania" documents :) As I was working on the handbook I actually imagined a whole group of related documents: * the handbook * a good sample timeline * comprehensive checklists for each area * sample forms, i.e. for reporting a budget or negotiating sponsorship * registration & program system docs * and good historical documentation about past conferences, including lists of speakers invited etc. this could be a package that we give to new teams. There is a precedent for this -- if you search on the web for "conference checklists" or similar you find lots of event management checklists and templates. But we need some that are customized for Wikimania... cheers, Phoebe On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 2:34 AM, Seb35 <seb35wikipedia(a)gmail.com> wrote:
