We're looking to offer at least three options for accommodations. We
are almost done with securing contracts for all of them, so I imagine
that the system will be available around next Friday if not this time
next week.

Hello Katherine, and other Wikimania attendees!
We were waiting for contracts to be signed before announcing hotels. Once
the contracts are signed, the hotels have to make a registration page
dedicated to Wikimania. My understanding is that it takes 2-3 days
following
contract signing for the booking to appear online.
Sincerely,

It would be helpful if you could give us a sense of how soon "shortly"
is.
This week? This month?
