Hello,
For people who are asking what they can do to help as part of the "online team":
* This page needs to be written in English :) http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Index&uselang=en see the Spanish version: * http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Index/es&uselang=es
* The FAQ could use a lot of work. Many of the questions can be answered from Wikipedia or general travel books: http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/FAQ
* The question "What is Wikimania" on the FAQ could use a big expansion and maybe turned into a dedicated "About" page that could be translated into many languages. Maybe add a description of past conferences, who has attended, who the conference is for, etc. The pages on Meta & Wikipedia should help with this.
* What about a "what to expect" page for attendees? Past attendees could write up a description of what the conference is like (of course every Wikimania is different, but some things stay the same). Or a "how to get the most out of Wikimania" page?
* Don't forget there is a community portal: http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Community_Portal Ideas for the program, planning, requests, to-do items etc. would be fine to post here.
These are just some ideas for getting started :) -- Phoebe

Not only could we use answers for the listed questions, but also add some more that you guys think are important! Also, answers should try not to be something like "No", but should give a bit more information as well.
This page needs translation (Spanish to English) too. It's long:

The Spanish version is far from being finished. I would wait a bit before translating it, Roberto Fiadone is working on the Spanish Version.

It's okay though, we can merge in the changes that are made (that's what we end up doing when their are changes to the English for all other translations). The Spanish version is *huge*, so it would be good to get that started. ;-)
