Very well, it seems there's demand for this, from a bunch of wikimedians who, in aggregate, are probably representative.
Time to create a CfP submissionhttp://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation. Daniel, would you do the honors?
Cheers,

Hello all
As you probably know, this year's Wikimania will again feature hacking
days
(which I help to organize), just before Wikimania proper. However, the
current
setup is missing an opportunity for developers and chapter people to get together and talk about what the community wants and needs.
So, I would like to propose to have a Q/A session where the community can
ask
questions to developers. I'd like to do this during Wikimania proper, so everyone has a chance to attend.
The question is: are people interested? Or is it just my silly idea?
Not a silly idea at all, on the contrary. I have fond memories of the Commons meeting in Paris where the techies and the non-techies sat together and made things go forward. So please, go ahead in organizing this, I think it's a great and potentially extremely interesting opportunity to make sure that the contributors feel "heard" by the developper community and vice-versa.
