A few questions about the schedule: (I asked on Talk:Schedule but didn't get a reply)
1. The programme seems to be colour-coded but there isn't a legend. What does each colour (orange vs. grey) mean?
2. Two of the venues swap columns halfway down the programme. I recommend that they be "unswapped" to reduce confusion.
3. Some items (mainly those that span multiple columns) do not state a venue. Can the venues of each of those items be specified please?

Could you specify which ones you're unable to place? I can't seem to find one that doesn't have a venu venue. It looks like the plenary's are all in Rapaport Hall, and I think those are the only ones that span multiple columns.
Harel: With Rapaport replacing the main auditorium, I take it that there will be less than 450 people in this Wikimania? :(
Casey: I think it's just the yellow Plenary / Ceremony sessions. Thanks!

No, there will be more than 450 people at Wikimania. We have upwards of 450 confirmed (paid for / scholarship) attendees. That's actually a very high number, as I have some doubts of some of the numbers of previous years', I believe they were inflated.

So we've now got 520 people coming to the Wikimania (according to Harel on another thread). How are we gonna fit them all into the venue of the opening ceremony, which according to the Wiki can only seat 450 people?

520 registered and paid attendees does not mean 520 people showing up for the opening. For any number of reasons, some people never make it, others are late, and some didn't intend to attend the whole thing in the first place.
Cheers,

1. There's some color coding to distinguish the plenary sessions, and another used to distinguish the mostly Hebrew track of Wikimedia Academy (on Thursday). 2. That's meant to be so, in order to leave the Wikimedia Academy on the leftmost column, even though it's hosted in the second-largest hall (Cinematheque). 3. All plenary sessions are in the Rapaport Hall (some of them used to be planned for the Main Auditorium, but we decided we don't need it at all).
