What is the status of scholarships of 2008 Wikimania? Egypt is a touristic hotspot so people will not be neither able to find hotel rooms nor plane tickets if this is delayed any more.
Wikimania does not want to be a filthy rich-only club. :P

I know that but if it is delayed any more plane tickets will skyrocket and the work of the committee may go to waste. I am fully aware that the committee is doing their best. I do not expect any less from them. All I am pointing out something obvious that might have been overlooked in the heat of all thats going on.

Some psychologists will advise you to hit pillows when stressed (pillow shooting pun intended). This is a similar.

The hotel options connected with the registration are quite reasonable. As I understand it, this is not the peak season for tourism in Egypt, and hotel costs beyond the time required for Wikimania should not covered by scholarships. If you want to take advantage of being in Egypt do a little tourism, as most of us would consider doing, those would be your costs.
I haven't been involved in scholarship issues, but it would seem to me that for this Wikimania a priority for visitors from Africa would make sense.
