Hi Cary,

I started a subpage to link such things to: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/community

Including a checklist page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/checklist

It's very very unfinished and needs a lot more added. I also have a draft of some advice up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Phoebe/Wikimania

I'm hoping the Meta Wikimania page can be the hub for all things Wikimania-related, so please link stuff there if you've got it.

I've worked on this stuff on and off but keep getting distracted, and so haven't promoted it too much. But if you've worked on Wikimanias past please please please help document them -- see the conference subpages under Wikimania.

best, Phoebe

Hi all,

I have recently been asked to see if we can't put together some easy-to-find FAQ for recommendations to teams who want to bid for Wikimania.  Rather than recreate the wheel, I wanted to see if anyone could remember any previous efforts that have gone toward such a work, and if anyone from current or previous bidders want to help out in putting a list of questions together that bidding teams would want answered.

I know that many requirements have never been set in stone, and we've generally picked on a "best bid" basis, as a combination of all that the local area has to offer.

Cary
