Actually no -- there has been discussion about this issue on the Polish organization list -- for now the sites mirror each other (or should), but there was talk of redirecting to wikimania2010.pl. We do need to consolidate. I don't know what the consensus on which site to use was. CC'ing Polimerek who has been working on this....
I don't know either. Indeed the core team insists to have it all on *.pl site (and on the server belonging to Wikimedia Polska), but on the other hand there were strong sugesstions to have main wiki on Foundation servers. The good thing with Polish server is that it can be easily configured by organising team, and it is actually devoted to Wikimania only, but the bad thing is that it is rather not very secure old server and the internet connection is slow so it might not be sufficent to survive high traffic before and during Wikimania. The problem with Foundation's servers are that it is not possible to have direct admin-level access to it in order to reconfigure it.
We were talking about it with Phoebe and Sj during their visit in Poland, but I don't know the final decission. What I did a couple of days ago, was just transfering and making some structure of the basic information pages from meta-bid as I was asked by core team to do this. I did it on both wikis as it is not a big deal to copy-paste all that stuff from one to another, so no matter what the final decission is going to be my work won't be lost :-)
