Right.
But we have plenty of editors only who might not prove to be good event managees. In such a case what is the scope for outsourcing this activity and hiring professional event managers?

Hi,

Usually, wikipedians start off with great enthusiasm but then get disoriented and off target quickly. Volunteers could be great editors but creating a conference requires altogether different skills. Doing some activitiy online and running a conference or even an organisation is a completely different ball game. Once we understand this fact, we will be ready to conduct any kind of conferences-online or realworld !!

Hi,

I also thought that we should organize Wikimania in India but after organizing WCI i see that Indian community is not yet ready to even organize an annual WCI. It took one year to organize WCI 2016 and the work has not finished yet 3 months after the conference. It will take another 2 months to finish everything as far as i see.

So, No Wikimania until we are prepared enough to organize an annual conference.

Hi,

We organized the 2015 BN10 Conference in Kolkata and as far as I know,
Bengali community, including myself, is not at all interested in organizing
another conference, although I dont speak on behalf of all. Personally
speaking, to remain active online is more fruitful than organizing a
Wikimania.
