Gary, is this a general note of pessimism? I can understand that - but I would bear in mind that it really just takes one or two dedicated people to get a serious bid together - people will join as it gathers momentum, and then certainly if/when the bid is selected. For what it's worth, I'm still hopeful for 2009, and I will get working on it soon. (It will be easier for me to concentrate on Manchester, as I know the venue - if you can see a realistic option yourself, focus your energy there.)

Three of those signed are on the Wikimania jury or have conflicts of interest in supporting an individual bid, one is a banned user and one is me. That leaves 74 people who can help in this bid, if anyone is still interested?
I expect not all of them are subscribed to this list. Could people draft
an email we can send to them on a subpage of m:Wikimania 2009/UK ?
Cheers
