Eh... I guess you're right... (and sorry about the mis camelCase
capitalization), but I'm really at a loss for a good conference name, as
it's too bad about Wikimania. There are way too many camelCase names out
there, IMO, and as we discussed earlier, MediaWiki practically did away with
the need for them, so maybe we can too. I, like Notafish, still have quite a
soft spot for Wikimania, but if a suitable alternative should come along,
I'm all for it. May I ask why this was not secured last year? I realize that
this isn't the official name, but how come? Meanwhile, I'll still think
WikiSem is different enough from WikiSym in pronounciation, but I guess I'm
in the minority here.
As I mused earlier, might we try to branch off from camelCase into something
a little more MediaWiki like: underscores and spaces? Would Wiki_Mania be
out of the question? Or Wiki_World, for that matter?
