It's a large task for a single chapter to plan Wikimania with the help
of a paid event professional?  Our Wikimanias have been planned by a
lot less -- usually just a group of hard-working Wikimedians, some
with the help of a chapter, some not. :-)

Allow me to reiterate, I meant its a demanding task for any group, let alone an individual planner. :-)

Our Wikimanias have also been getting larger and more complicated, I think thats one of the central issues. I only suggested, maybe its time to consider outside/professional help?
