One might say no news, good news, but it doesn't fit I think. Info from the team will be helpful even in the minimum.
Oh sorry, I have no time to do it by myself, but how about creating a wiki page tracking the schedule - specially things overdue - collecting info what was provided, what has been postponed until that and what hasn't been mentioned. It may help for all those who get involved to set priorities in these last minutes.

Hi.
- Not taking away from the sense of urgency expressed by Lodewijk and
already communicated by many others, I'd like to remind everyone that Juliana da Costa José has assured us that accommodation has already been booked.
- At this point, we all understand that something has gone wrong with the
preparations, but since the event is still AHEAD of us -- let's avoid mere venting of anxiety and focus on helping the Gdansk team in any way we can. That said, the Gdansk team would make helping them a lot easier if they would communicate about whatever difficulties they have encountered. Quite a few people have already offered to help, including WMF staff, and including people with plenty of Wikimania and other event-organization experience.
So PLEASE, everyone, let's keep the conversation constructive and refrain from adding to the already existing pressure and anxiety.
