Hi, Mike,
Please clarify that to open a website of the Conference is a request from
you, or Atlanta Bid, or Atlanta Bid's sponsor (which needs to be convinced).
Good point, THD.
I would like to add Wikimania official website have been always a wiki
- even the Foundation official website is. So you bring up two
different request - opening the 2008 website and opening not-a-wiki
website. The matter may bring difficulty for further organizations
regarding content management.
Cheers,
Thank you.

I understand that, however, my main concern is utmost professionalism in
presentation to people we have to convince to help us. To me, linking to a
wiki doesn't exactly have that quality, not 100%. And there's only so much
you can say before they want to see something, and I'm afraid a wiki page
does not have the best statement that it can.

Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Open Wikimania 2008 website?
I think it is better to open the Wikimania 2008 website after the host
city get
chosen.
Meta is a place to coordinate biddings, but
Wikimania website is for the
official use of the event.
Since there will be only one city get chosen as
the host, I am afraid that
other bidders' proposals on the same website would
confuse people.

Wikimania 2008 website on Wikimedia be opened for all of us to present our
big aims there instead of having to direct people to different pages on
Meta, which they may not be 100% aware of navigating?
