Wikimania of my dreams:
Transportation: Each participant who verifies themselves to the
foundation as a sysop on any Wikimedia project, gets their conference
entrance fee waived. All Foundation employees and board members must be
required to ride Segway scooters the entire time they are at the project.
And as usual, bureaucrats, checkusers, and stewards will also be paid
a small attendance bonus, in addition to their annual salaries.
You don't even have to dream for that part. And Oversights and Developers,
in addition to their travel stipend, get an extra security clearance and
back-stage pass for a guest (presumably, whoever they currently let watch
over their shoulder while oversighting things or manually updating the
databases).
And on a ligher note, +1 to Renata for the need for a Wikipedia-focused
conference -- one of the miniconfs that WMania can spawn.
