Hi. 
please, i have two questions:

1) i see the Wikimania team website is private, but maybe the Veteran tips on team, timeline and keynote speakers can be made public or copied on meta?
https://wikimaniateam.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Ideal_Team
https://wikimaniateam.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Ideal_Timeline

i don't know their content, but they are cited on meta as something which should be read (listed here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Handbook)


Yep, the ideal team & ideal timeline pages are IIRC notes/essay pages that never really got finished -- they are probably duplicated by the wikimania handbook at this point but I can doublecheck and copy them. There's certainly nothing private about these.

The keynote speakers page IIRC is a brainstorming list of potential keynote speakers. I don't know what we should do about this. I am not really inclined to publicly publish the lists of all the names we've considered and rejected over the years (or asked and they rejected us, or whatever), just because it seems a little unfair to those people to make that page a google hit for their name (even if it's an obscure one :) )

 
2) I was looking for comparative tables related to Wikimania.
I see there is a very general table https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/past
and i also found a structure for the organization summaries https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/2005
is there anything else available? 

As far as comparisons between the years go, not that I know of. BTW the summaries are still incomplete, any help that anyone can give to fill them in (you know who you are!) would be welcome!
