Just enquiring whether the proposed wiki train plan is still on.
Regards,

Right, and the nature of what the Foundation has

the last few years, so that's actually been in flux (what was true for
us in 2006 is totally different now, re: scholarships etc). Which
makes it even harder to get an authoritative answer!
That makes them out to be just like a government. ;-)
Basically: the community & the Foundation have certain expectations
for Wikimania, but it's up to the local team to implement them.
Indeed, the insidious thing about expectations is that those of whom
they are expected can be blissfully unaware of that fact, and are easily
blind-sided
In a much larger context, the internet has provided opportunities for
unprecedented participation in democratic processes, but not without the
irony that those with that newfound power often ask their adversaries
what to do with it.
