And you said you're willing to help translations - which language are you working on? Out of curiosity.
Most probably Espanol (es) as it is the only other language I know outside of English :P

Thank you for your warm welcome Meno. I will try to do some translations on the wiki over the next few weeks and see how that goes.
...not over the next few weeks. :-) Most of the text is not up yet, and the text that *is*, is not finalized and not ready for translation. I am sure that TansCom will put forth instructions as we get closer to the date. Just hang tight for now. :-)
Hi, normally the translators for Wikimania are busy during the early spring (for website setup) and the summer (catching several updates: call for participants, splendid speakers list and details about accommodation, sometimes local sightseeing info). So for now I'd recommend you to visit the last year website http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org, what kind of information and tasks are required.
And you said you're willing to help translations - which language are you working on? Out of curiosity.
Translation team needs of course translators but also coordinators. A look to the pervious workspace http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/WM:T may give you a grasp of our dirty laundry :D It may include to check the progress of localization by language, to contact language specific Wikimedia community for asking for help or to call for help on global Wikimedia communication channel like this list or other Wikimedia mailing list. For this area, linguistic skills are not necessary (still preferable though), but general understanding about translation and moreover the knowledge about the conference are expected. Recent work of Casey for Wikimedia Foundation website is imo an excellent example how English (only) speaking people can help translation/localization team.
Cheers,
In relation to that, is there anything I can do regarding operation of the IRC channels or the wiki?
IRC channels do not really need operation... they're just means of discussion. :-)
As for the wiki, same as above, not yet. :-) As we get closer to the date, there will be more to talk about and more to manage, right now there is none. :-)
Thanks in advance,

You are welcomed as a member of the online team.
- Yes. If you know any foreign language, you can help translate the
wiki. 2) I don't know exactly how much do you know about Wikimania, however if you have any particular question, you can ask any member of the local Wikimania team.

Hello all,
Although I will not be attending Wikimania this year, I have put my name down to be part of the Online Team.
I have a few questions as I will be monitoring IRC, maintaining the wiki pages and watching streams from my laptop at home during the event.
- Is there anything else I can do to help without being at
Wikimania? 2) Will I need to know any further information than what I already know to be a part of the Online Team?
I am on IRC most of the time as TheLetterE or TheLetterE-WiFi if you need to speak with me.
