Yes we do, although they record different things. The duplication is just a result of a lack of awareness of the Attendees page by the person who set up the Hello World page. I'm not sure what the benefit of not merging is, but the suggestion was handwaved away. On 24 July 2014 11:49, Joseph Fox <josephfoxwiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Think this is for more personally identifiable things rather than just a name (like mobile number, photo etc).

I know about the Attendees page, but it's been in use for many months and people may not have had visas accepted or changed their plans since, plus this collects additional information. *Edward Saperia* Conference Director Wikimania London <http://www.wikimanialondon.org> email <ed(a)wikimanialondon.org> • facebook <http://www.facebook.com/edsaperia> • twitter <http://www.twitter.com/edsaperia> • 07796955572 133-135 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DG On 24 July 2014 11:53, Chris McKenna <chris.mckenna(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:

Good idea. I added the following: For arrival and departure times, use the time of your flight in the format "dd mmm hh:mm airport", e.g. a 2:30pm flight from London Heathrow on 11th August would be "11 Aug 14:30 LHR". If you live in the UK, write the county or city you live in. This will make the table sorting do the work for us. *Edward Saperia* Conference Director Wikimania London <http://www.wikimanialondon.org> email <ed(a)wikimanialondon.org> • facebook <http://www.facebook.com/edsaperia> • twitter <http://www.twitter.com/edsaperia> • 07796955572 133-135 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DG On 25 July 2014 07:18, Netha Hussain <nethahussain(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, I was wondering if we could use this page for travel co-ordination as well, by providing separate space for noting down the arrival time, departure time and the arriving airport? If possible, we could add details about the arriving/departing flights too, in which case people arriving on same flights can conduct mini-meetups while on air or while at airport :-) On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 7:43 PM, Richard Symonds < richard.symonds(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:
