Hi, Jakob,
Sorry for late reply.
We are still doing our budget. As when we bid for hosting Wikimania 2007, we have found some sponsorship to cover the meals and accommodation, the accommodation cost is just for avoiding waste.
Generally in Taipei, the room rate in an ordinary hotel is between NTD 2500 to NTD 4000 (USD75-120) per night, and Wikimania accommodation cost will be under $20 per night. We will announce the rate in detail when the registration is open.
We have ordered the CTOYAC rooms from Aug.1 to Aug. 5, which means everybody has to check out on Aug. 6. After the Wikimania, there will be other activities held in CTOYAC, so it is nearly impossible to order more days. We will try to get more other hotel information for those who want to stay longer.
And I have to say sorry again, the original registration manager left the preparation team. That's why we responded lately. We are trying to find an appropriate person to take charge of this super important matter, and of course as soon as possible. The registration system and website are still ongoing, so don't worry for us. Littlebtc and Alex are still here. :D
Sincerely yours,
THD
