Wikimania has been advertised in so many different ways till now, and for so
long, that I find it a little weird to actively pursue any group of
Wikipedians in person to attend the conference. Any reasonably active
Wikipedian will have known by now that it's taking place in August in Haifa.
The conference site and the registration form all have full Arab versions,
and we posted on the ar.wp village pump (I think more than once). What more
can be done within reason?
It has to be said that If Palestinians don't want to attend (it doesn't have
necessarily to be for political reasons, it can be for a multitude of other
cultural, economic and sociological reasons), nobody can force them to do
so.
Again, in previous Wikimanias the representation from the Arab world was low
to very low (in relation to the size of the Arab world), as others already
noted on this thread. There are many underrepresented demographic groups in
our movement.
