But all of the above are nice dreams about the

proven experience from the past that demonstrates why personal
meetings between Wikimedians are not just fun for them, but actually
beneficial to the Wikimedia community, the Internet, the Humanity? Can
anyone here give me solid examples of successful projects that were
born thanks to past Wikimanias?
Most of the chapters.
OK, but how exactly? Why did people have to fly to another continent
to start a chapter in their own country? Did they use Wikimania as an
opportunity to talk to the people who started the pioneering chapters
(Germany, France, Italy) and learned from them how to start them?
Anything else?
