So, a quick update on my efforts on the Wikimania pages on Meta: There's been much talk about building up the Wikimania Handbook to become an increasingly useful resource. To that end, I've been trying to connect the various "feedback" pages, which are overflowing with good ideas, to the Handbook. I would welcome any help in this area, and so I'll explain the process I've been going by: Here's the flow I see: [[Wikimania YYYY feedback]] ------> (summarized in sections) [[Wikimania YYYY lessons]] -----> [[Wikimania Handbook]] So, for instance, I have summarized the discussion at: Wikimania 2010: Monsters and critics ( http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Monsters_and_critics ) Creating the much shorter page: Wikimania 2010 lessons ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010_lessons ) And next I will ensure that all the items under "Badges" on that page have made it, in some form, into the "Badges" section of: Wikimania Handbook ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Handbook ) Make sense? Please, if you have a little time to spare for this, jump in and help out -- it won't take long if a few of us are working on it! -Pete

<-- WikiDragon alert

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%3AC… 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

Hello! Once again, thanks for the cool conference. Right now I'd like to show some friends and colleagues what we've been up to.:-) I'm curious if the videos are online yet? I can't find them on the WikimediaIL channel so far. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Re: [Wikimania-l] holidays around Wikimania (Amir E. Aharoni)
by Deror Avi 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Having Wikimania during [[Tisha B'Av]] [1], the last day of [[The Three Weeks]] is a no go for all religious jews - not only Orthodox Jews. It is a long fast (26 hours long) which starts the day before, very much like Yom Kipur. Even I will not be able to attend Wikimania on that day (and the day before).

CD
by Deryck Chan 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Who told the security staff at Ben Gurion that CDs have been distributed as part of the welcoming pack of Wikimania? Jeromy and I were requested to show the "CD you received from Wikimania" and we haven't got any. PS. For those of you who have yet to fly out of Israel: it's a good idea to have a password / Android lock etc. on each of your electronic devices, so that they can't check their content except in front of you.
