Ah, and the "Delegate Guide" document just
arrived as I was writing
this. :) Thank you.

Thank you, Raphael. The program is good to see, but Florence was
asking about "the document" Felix mentioned, with all the
logistics explained. That is not the program page.
And regarding the program -- submissions had some descriptions
with them. Where can we read them?
For example, I don't know what the "Letter to Katherine" means,
and I'm sure some other sessions, like my own "Wikipedia Clinic",
may not be clear to others. Could you please paste the descriptions?
If you're too busy with preparations, I'm sure many of us are
happy to help -- just give a couple of people access to the Google
Form that collected the submissions, and we can help paste more
information into the program page.
Finally, I am a bit worried about a 30-minute lunch. It is
*doable*, but only if the lunch is in pre-packaged boxes people
can rapidly grab and start eating. (is it?) Experience shows that
any kind of food serving situation, where people have to stand in
line and wait for one or several servers to put food in their
plates, easily take up at least 20-30 minutes itself. Then the
people who got food last won't have enough time to eat. If the
plan *isn't* for sandwiches in boxes, I suggest you rework the
schedule in advance, so that sacrifices are made calmly and after
consideration, instead of ending up running late and chaotically
losing time or pushing the whole schedule out.
P.S. Just today I got my passport back from the Embassy of Ghana,
with my visa, so I look forward to seeing many of you in Accra! :)

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for you genuine concerns. A document is currently
being prepared and should be shared with all participants
by the weekend.
Hello
Just checking... is the document done or not yet ?
I'd like to get even the draft version of it tomorrow. I
am basically departing home in 24 hours. And feel...
errr... that I am lacking information that could be
useful. So anything that can help... I am interested.
In particular, I would like to have details about an
alternate means to rejoin the hotel IN CASE something goes
wrong at the airport.
Florence
It will contain all that you are asking for, however just
to clear the air, there will be a shuttle to convey all
participants from the airport to the hotel of stay. You
arrival dates have been shared to allow the shuttle
driver know when to come to the airport. Also there will
be some team members to direct you to the bus, just look
around for an individual(s) holding a card with the
inscription *Wiki Indaba 17*.
Hope this helps....
Cheers,

Dear Felix, dear organizers
I am happy to hear (as surely all others are) that
the preparations have gone well! I think it will be
helpful for all participants to have a description of
the place (adress, phone numbers of hotel and/or
contact person on the team) we have to go from the
airport, what money to have ready for taxi or what
transport to use. Even if you plan to provide
transport it is still good to have that because
something might go wrong upon arrival (missing each
other etc).
Cheers
