Hi all,
I've been given the opportunity to write a short article for the Guardian Weekly about Wikimania, which will be put up on the GW website on August 1st (ie before the conference).
What I want to know is whether there is a place I can add a link to which will act as the place that people reading the article can go to find out more about Wikimania, to read/comment on the conference blog (will there be a blog this year?), and possibly to participate remotely (or even in person). Does such a place exist? Or is the best thing to do to give the link as the Wikimania wiki main page, and then to post these particulars to that page as quickly and prominantly as possible?
What do you think?
Cormac

Yes, that link should be http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org - but this was my question - whether this is the one-stop place or whether there was a more specific page on the wiki...

Thanks Theodoranian,
That page says: "This page is for collecting mass media exposure of Wikimania 2007" - but that's not what I was looking for. Perhaps the article I write will be listed there, but I'm asking: "what link(s) can I include *in my article* that will point people to finding out more about and participating in Wikimania?"

Cormac --
as far as I know there's no single page that will give you all the info about wikimania, except the en: wiki article (which is not really our best effort :P) this sound really be a project for meta, perhaps involving communications people -- a 2-3 page overview of the conference past, present and future would be a lovely press tool as many of us have to give these kinds of interviews (you're writing for the Guardian -- congratulations! -- I'm giving a local radio interview next week, etc). How about using http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania for the future?
For participating in 2007 -- no single page; registration is the technical details but http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Lounge might be your best bet. There's also ideas at [[Program ideas]]; dont' know where the streams will be centralized.
