Given that enWP alone has 123,540 active editors as of this morning,[1] it’s not exactly a stretch…
What percentage of those are credible stakeholders in Wikimania?
How many are going to be eligible for Wikimania scholarships?
How many will attend a Wikimania?
Obviously a relative constant percentage will be attendees due to it being very affordable to attend from their home. This is an argument for ensuring the host cities are very geographically diverse, but factoring in the size of the 'casual' editor community who is likely to attend for this reason.
So, probably the most important question, depending on whether Wikimania is to be a community event (which is up for debate)...
How many would fly to another country at their own expense to attend Wikimania?
