Hello, The Wikimania site shows that there has been already a lot of work, and I can imagine the many little things that had to be dealt with. Remembering the Amsterdam bid, my congratulation for that. Kind regards Ziko van Dijk

We thank everyone who congratulated us on opening the reg. site, on and off the list. All the credit goes to Harel Cain, a board member in WMIL and hewp Bureaucrat, who undertook to integrate, document, and improve the existing registration system. The new code will of course be made available to the next Wikimania organizers.
We urge everyone to take advantage of the "early bird" discount, and to register by end of March.
Cheers,
Asaf Bartov, on behalf of the Wikimania 2011 team.

I just want to send here, along with best new year wishes, an enormous thanks to the Haifa team. I believe they have beaten all previous Wikimanias in opening the registration website so early.
Hat down.
Cheers,
Delphine
