Even if the bid doesn't win for 2012, you can use the experience and
information you find out to try for a future year, and I know there
are many Wikimedians who would love to come to SA for the conference.
If the bid team has any questions about best practices there are
plenty of experienced Wikimaniacs on this list.

p.s. the choice of Israel is, and will remain, controversial. I don't

"advance look" at the Haifa site when I visited a few weeks ago, and I
think it will be a great Wikimania; I hope that those who are able to
