[Wikimania-l] <-- WikiDragon alert

[Pete Forsyth]

Hello all,

I'm probably not the only one starting to think ahead to Wikimania 2013. So
today, I did a rather massive overhaul of the Wikimania pages on Meta --
trying to both wrap my head around the event's history, the process of venue
selection, and existing documentation -- and also trying to organize it in a
way that will make it more accessible as other try to educate themselves.

I sort of wish I'd taken a screenshot or two of the Category structure
before I started, because to be blunt, it was *awful*! I hope what I've left
behind is an improvement. If you want to take a look at the havoc I've
wreaked, you should probably look at:

http://enwp.org/meta:Wikimania
http://enwp.org/meta:Category:Wikimania
http://enwp.org/meta:Wikimania_jury

Or just pore over my (metaphorically) OCD-fueled recent contribs:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagFilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Peteforsyth&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=2011&month=10

I hope this is viewed as a net positive. In hindsight, as I was getting
deeper into this, I started to realize that I maybe should have stopped to
seek consensus before making such extensive changes. But I am pretty
confident you'll like what you see -- if not, please let me know, and I'll
do my best to undo any damage :)

-Pete
