That's enough for me to say no to Wikimania. Has
anyone talked to any
of our Wikimedia friends in Egypt to see what's going on first-hand?

It should be noted that Egypt has just banned 2
German Newspapers (Die
Welt, and Frankfurter Allgemaine), the Wall Street Journal, and The
Observer over posting the Muhammad cartoons, which was followed with
demonstrations by university professors, deans, and students chanting
"Jews, Jews, watch out, the army of Muhammad will return!".

This is really the kind of environment we want to host a Wikimania in?
I'd have much more respect for people who BOYCOTT Wikimania in the
name of free speech, freedom of the press, and journalistic integrity.

Great idea. Let's sit down and discuss the
issue some more. I'm sure
polite civil discussion and a reassurance of NPOV will certainly make
Iran feel better about the issue.
I'm not talking about more endless discussion, I'm talking about
getting information together into a centralized resource. That's
something that we haven't done yet, and we can't expect anybody to
make good decisions on this matter without having all the information
available.
