Ok I get it now, cos there was only the one subpage, I didn't get what it did. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/Bids/London/Coordination I've also fleshed out the page with a bit of a framework and some of the tasks mentioned already, as well as a list of people willing to help, though only included myself as didn't want to presume.

I have been told by UCL that it shouldn't be a problem having it there ie availability is not a problem - at this stage. If someone were to propose dates and add them where it says on the main bid page I could get back to UCL and get it confirmed.

Personally I have no preference but I know one of the jury's birthday falls during that time frame, and it is Jimmy's birthday on the 7th, so with jetlag and the like they may not be too thrilled by that :) - not enough to affect their decisions on the jury, but, you know, it doesn't help us :). Or is this a non-issue? On 8/31/07, Cormac Lawler <cormaggio(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- Gary Kirk

Sorry, that's Jimmy Wales. I'd assume he'll attend :P.

clashing with Jimmy's birthday doesn't seem to have adversely affected any of the previous winning bids Frankfurt: 4 Aug - 8 Aug Boston: 4 Aug - 6 Aug Taipei: 3 Aug - 5 Aug my guess is he enjoys a piss-up with his wiki-minions ;) On 31/08/2007, *Gary Kirk* &lt;gary.kirk(a)gmail.com <mailto:gary.kirk@gmail.com>> wrote: Sorry, that's Jimmy Wales.
