Hi Ray!

While I may not be suited in helping directly on this kind of task, My one wish is that there be a significant track to deal with the issues of WMF governance. Having one session where the participants meet the Board on the last day is not enough. At both Boston and Taipei this only raised a lot of questions when there was no further time for discussion. Some very important and difficult questions have recently been raised on the Foundation list, and those questions require a thorough airing.
We are just testing a submission and planing system for the conference that might be used. Can you please help testing it by submitting your wish as a concrete idea for an event at Wikimania 2008 via https://wikimedia.pentabarf.org/submission/wikimania2008 and give feedback whether this kind of giving input is suitable? I strongly bet that discussing single ideas like I-want-a-session-on-X or how-about-a-workshop-on-Y is not the way it will work.
Thanks and greetings, Jakob
