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 !!
