Lovely - thank you, Harel. I think we only need a short main-conf presentation on the first day, as an intro to the process, and space we can use for a more detailed workshop with those who are interested. [if we have many people interested, that group could break out into teams.] I can give an introduction. I would like to do something like what we did at the chapconf where a small group of us who have worked on different aspects of MR are all on stage to answer questions.
Sam.

Ah, the joys of being a benevolent dictator, I set aside a full 90 minute slot on the first day for MR. Have a look here: http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule (you're more than welcome to comment on other aspects of the schedule as well, apart from saying it's too crowded, which it is - we need more time).
I'm not sure I'll be able to defend 90 minutes for MR for a lot longer. So prepare for the possibility you'll get fewer minutes.
At any rate, you (we?) need to prepare something for this slot. Who'll be the main speaker?

As I have a saying in the soon to be published first draft of the schedule, I'll just set aside time for the MR presentation/panel in the main conference, even without the "due process" of a submission. However, our schedule is really really tight and so I'm afraid we can only realistically allocate about 45-60 minutes for this.

Harel - would it be possible to have this sort of time in the overall schedule? What are the next steps to proposing a talk and / or workshop?

Any idea who will be doing the general presentation?
Those were suggestions, not submissions yet b/c of the deadline. I volunteer to write the abstracts. MR is a diverse group -- depending on the timing, a small panel would be nice. Or a few lightning talks by people working on difference facets, followed by a recap at the start of our workshop. By Wikimania, we should have our lightning pitch about why this matters and what major issues we are addressing down to under a minute.
