I also do not know why it is being closed so early or see why it is necessary to do so right now.

Regards,

Douglas.

Hi Marco,

Isn't this a bit early? The conference happened less than a month ago, usually the wiki was closed maybe a year after the event. People need to add their presentations to the pages, videos needs to be edited and linked there,, lessons learned want to be shared, etc. It might be a good push now but get everything in place but in my humble opinion, two months after the conference is way too early, sorry.

Best,

Martin/DerHexer

Betreff: [Wikimania-l] Closing wikimania2018wiki

Hello,

As it happens with all wikimania wikis upon completion of the event,

the wikimania2018wiki is in the process of being closed. Closing means

that the wiki and its contents will continue to be online and readable

by all, but account creation and editting will be restricted.

I plan to move forward and close the wiki in *one month* after the

sending of this email (this is September 16, 2018 aprox.). If you have

content that needs to be uploaded to the wiki, please do so.

I've setup a ticket at <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201188> so

we can track its progress.

Of course, if you need more time I have no issues to wait. However the

wiki will eventually be closed as all other wikimania wikis.

Best regards, M.
