I know Portugal pulled out.  Haven't heard anything about Kenya and the U.K., and I'm still hoping I can make a Manila 2013 bid viable. :P

Something confirmed about the candidates to host Wikimania 2013?

I've heard rumors about Kenya, U.K. and Portugal...

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%3aWikimania
http://enwp.org/meta%3aCategory%3aWikimania
http://enwp.org/meta%3aWikimania_jury

Or just pore over my (metaphorically) OCD-fueled recent contribs: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagFilter=&title=Special:Contributions&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
