Hi Andy,
I don't know the total, and we may not have finalised things yet as we are still recruiting from people who got involved at Wikimania and are now working out how to stay involved. The two I have personally signed up were both immediately after Wikimania. I assume you are interested in the whole Wikimania related spike, not just those we collared in the barbican?
I can see that this is going to be of interest to both this list, especially the Mexico bid team, and of course the Wikimedia UK list. It would also be interesting to get feedback from earlier wikimania teams as to what worked for them.
As well as many regulars, Wikimania 2014 attracted a large and enthusiastic group of additional volunteers who we have an opportunity to try and engage with. Apparently most of them were in a particular Facebook group and we have already reached out to them there with invitations to both an Editathon and a campus ambassador training session. We will be doing more plugs there for WLM etc, any experience from previous wikimanias or indeed Facebook campaigners gratefully received.
Regards
Jonathan Cardy (WMUK)

I think the additional wmuk members will continue. I signed up and those who came to the lunch signed up too.
I think we have heard a few people mention they shall sign up soon too.
Cheers!
