First I'm not sure if just under $1m is the net cost, or the expenditure
only - the 2013-14 figures give 143,219 as "Special event expense,
net". Secondly I very much doubt that it's the "highest expense".
Here's some figures for 2013-14
* Purchase of computer equipment and office furniture 1,591,166
* Depreciation 2,722,007
* Salaries 19,979,908
* Internet hosting 2,529,483
* Travel and conferences 1,965,854

really important. Wikimania is the highest expense for our movement.
From the conference production cost, WMF scholarships, chapter
scholarships and WMF and chapters delegations - amounts that is almost
one million dollar, if not more.
