Would you like
helping with the proceedings - that is formating
submissions uniformly, proofreading, helping and reminding authors etc.?
Of course everybody can help a bit (it's a wiki) but I'm still looking
for someone who would also like to feel responsible for the proceedings
as a whole.
I'll certainly pitch in. I'd like to get as much of my disseration
written by Wikimania itself - so I'm busy - but would like to see what
others are doing and to give a hand.
I know. Wikimania keeps me away of my Thesis at the moment. But it's
also related to research.
On those points though, is there
a pre-set format that you would like to keep to? Is feedback to
authors something that is going to be done?
To create a pre-set format is something that needs to be done. Feedback
can be given for instance at the discussion pages - what is needed more
is editing submissions and reminding authors to make the bunch of wiki
pages look more like Proceedings in the end.
And will there be a printed version of the
papers/proceedings?
If someone deals with it - yes. We try to get all papers under
GFDL/CC-BY-SA so everyone is free to create a printed version. If you
ask me if it's realistic - no. But I'm going to get something like
DOI/ISBN etc. and archive it to make the papers more citable and better
to find in databases.
Also, on Wikimania in general, I'm looking for
somewhere on :meta or
:wikimania where you can just brainstorm ideas for mini projects, or
just even list them to be discussed there and then. Is this the place?

Looks good, but you could also create
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikimania05/Activities
In any way try to link it from many places and point people to it.
