As long as pages are not meant for the community alone, but the general public as well, I don't see it is o be a waste of time.

If media wiki and Wikimedia foundation page on google plus aren't a waste of time at least yet, thrn having Wikimania active there wouldn't also be.

The page already exist on google plus not that I'm saying it should be created. I'm just calling for the page to be active.

By the way, this isn't convincing as well.

I am not convinced that *any* investment of time or resources into Google Plus would not be a waste. Do you have figures for the number of people in the community that use Google Plus and are not on any other information channel, including the mailing list? I suspect that the number is extremely low, possibly zero.

Spending time on something solely because it is there makes very little sense. Instead of trying to cover a large number of platforms, we should be covering the ones people actually use and deleting accounts on the ones that aren't in use, so that people migrate to the active forums.

In an effort to be accommodating, we have spread ourselves too thin, and information has fallen through the cracks. When it comes to information channels, we need to shift from quantity to quality.

Hi,

I've been monitoring the Wikimania page on Google plus for some time now and its managed to go a year solid without any activity.

https://plus.google.com/116447448432892218985

Its likely obvious it needs someone to contribute to. I'm sure the current managers of the page are die hard twitter and Facebook users. Thus o believe bringing die hard Google plus users to manage the page will also help.

If I can assist in this way, I'll be glad to. I only have my official presence on google plus, so you can be assured it won't be inactive.
