Honestly, I have the same feeling too. I can foresee that this time will be a mess. I hope i am wrong anyway, as i will spend my time and money on it.

please, I have enjoyed Wikimania a few times now - but this is so much uncertainty, that I am really doubtful if this will be worth it to reserve at least a week and pay the travel and lodging costs, which dont really get any cheaper either. All we hear is "coming soon" for some months now (at least since before the chapters meeting). Even if it is not perfect, please, get something up there, so that people can give it serious consideration whether to come or not. We're not talking about a general wikimeet for a bunch of folks in a city nearby, but a conference with sessions where people need to get permission from their work sometimes to go there, where people need to take days off, where people sacrafice their vacation for.
I am hoping for and looking forward to more information.
